Pre-MBA Courses at Illinois State

The MBA degree assumes a knowledge base in business and economics normally acquired by students who have earned an undergraduate degree in business. Students who have not taken college algebra, economics, accounting, finance, and/or statistics within the past five years are strongly encouraged to take the Pre-MBA Program courses as a refresher, prior to their first core course.

Students admitted without sufficient academic background in one or more business areas may be required to complete Pre-MBA Program courses before enrolling in the MBA core courses. You will be contacted by the Associate Director of the MBA Program regarding which, if any, Pre-MBA Courses you will need to take. The responsibility for demonstrating prior academic coverage of the material at the appropriate level rests with the student, and should be completed prior to the beginning of the first semester of course work.

• Business Law Essentials

• Fundamentals of Economics
• Financial Accounting
