How do I get started in the MBA Program?

Can I apply for the MBA Program if my undergraduate degree is non-business related?

Absolutely. Students with a non-business baccalaureate degree are expected to possess or acquire competence in computing, accounting and finance, economics, statistical and quantitative methods, the legal environment of business, and marketing. These students may remove background deficiencies by completion of all or part of the "Basic Core" as determined at the time of the student's admission.
The amount of course work required to complete the MBA for those who possess a non-business undergraduate degree depends on the number of background deficiencies that exist. Admitted applicants must complete satisfactorily all requirements for the degree within six years.
