Basic Requirements:
|
|
You need 30 hours
in excess of the semester hours required to get your bachelors
degree (at most universities that means 120 + 30 = 150). |
|
Included in that number, you must have 36 hours
of “upper level” accounting (junior year up), to
include coverage in financial, cost, systems, tax, and auditing).
Basic MBA financial and managerial courses will not count. |
|
You need 39 hours of general business (economics,
statistics, management, marketing, finance, QMB, business
law and computer applications, etc). Only economics, statistics,
one business law and computers can be at the ‘lower
level.” |
|
Included in your 39 hours you must have 6
hours of Business Law, some coverage must be of the U.C.C.,
and 3 hours must be at the “upper level.” |
NO DUPLICATE COURSES WILL BE
COUNTED; e.g. you can not take Business Law I at two different
schools (under different titles) and count both. |
