Graduate Business Core Course Waiver Information
The MBA degree program requires between a maximum of 54 semester hours (18 classes) and a minimum of 33 semester hours (11 classes). The
program is divided into two major components: foundation and common body of knowledge (CBK). The foundation component is designed to quickly give
a non-business undergraduate student the same academic knowledge-base as that of an undergraduate business student. Some or all of these classes
may be waived if students have completed appropriate undergraduate course work at acceptable performance levels. Course waivers are made on a
course-by-course basis as approved by the Director for Graduate Programs if equivalent undergraduate courses have been completed with a minimum
grade of B-. Applicable undergraduate course work for OMGT 6123 and FINA 6144 waivers must be completed within five (5) years of acceptance into
the MBA program.
The seven foundation courses and the corresponding ECU undergraduate courses required for waiver follow. Students applying from other institutions
should match completed course work as closely as possible to ECU course names.
