This depends on the number of classes you may be required to take.

We do not require prerequisite courses to qualify for the MBA program. If you have a bachelor’s degree in Business from an accredited AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) school, the foundation courses may be waived. If you have a bachelor’s degree in a field other than Business, it is required to take the foundation courses.
GMAT or GRE scores are evaluated along with other parts of the application. Scores in the 50th percentile or higher are preferred.
