Required Undergraduate Business Coursework

Prior to admission in the M.B.A. programs, applicants with non-business degrees must also complete preparatory undergraduate business coursework equivalent to Ithaca College's Pre-M.B.A. minor. Equivalent courses may be taken at other accredited institutions; upper-level business courses (300- and 400-level) must be completed at a four-year business school.

To assist applicants in meeting the undergraduate business course requirements, Ithaca College also offers Pre-M.B.A. modules, intensive graduate-level summer courses designed to provide key business terminology and concepts required for graduate business study.
