MBA Degree Requirements

The mission of this program is to prepare students to become managers and leaders in a globally competitive business world.  The program emphasizes managerial decision-making, strategic analysis and the quantitative tools required to be an effective manager.

The Bradley MBA is divided into three blocks. It is not necessary to complete one block before proceeding to the next as long as the student has satisfied the particular course prerequisites.

Block I

Foundation Courses (18 hours)

Block I courses provide the foundation for understanding the business enterprise.  These courses assume the student has had no previous course work in business.  Any or all of these courses may be waived if the student has had a comparable undergraduate course.  However, the student is responsible for proficiency in all courses waived.
