MBA Courses

The MBA in Leadership degree consists of 37 credit hours, or 13 classes, in areas such as marketing, management, economics, finance and leadership.

If you have taken graduate courses at another regionally accredited college or university, they may count towards the MBA in Leadership degree, subject to approval by the MBA Committee. Typically, no more than six to nine credit hours will be considered for transfer credit.

If you do not have an undergraduate business degree, you will need to take an additional three foundation courses (currently only offered online) to prepare yourself for the MBA program. Students wishing for substitutions to or exemptions from the foundation courses should submit their requests through the Graduate Coordinator to the MBA Committee for evaluation and approval.
