  • Seven core classes provide a thorough foundation in the field of finance.
  • The balance of three advised electives are customized to a student’s desired career path, from either accounting or finance tracks.

Finance Foundation

Prior to beginning our program, students must demonstrate competence in the business foundation courses.  If you received your bachelor’s degree in business, these courses are subject to be waived. 

If you received a non-business bachelor’s degree, students can obtain competence in the foundations through our MBA IQ Program

  • MBA IQ is a self-paced module based system
  • You can begin this program at any time but must complete the subject matter prior to registering for the associated course
  • Students may need all or only a few modules
  • Our Academic Advising team will evaluate your official transcripts to determine what modules are required for your admission
  • Students must submit their pass rating from each required module.  Should you fail a module, you can repeat as needed
