Graduate Business Degree Preparatory Program
The Graduate Business Degree Preparatory Program is a series of online, noncredit courses that prepare professionals to enroll in the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree program at Thomas Edison State University and satisfies the prerequisites of the MBA program.
The program presents foundational principles in the areas of financial accounting, finance, microeconomics, and statistics. The program's adult-centered course design, peer-encouraged instructional strategies, and live, facilitator-led topic review sessions provide a powerful learning platform. It is designed for professionals who have earned a non-business undergraduate degree or those who want a "refresher" course in business fundamentals.
Who Should Apply?
Professionals who have earned a non-business undergraduate degree in areas such as education, medicine, law, healthcare, humanities, or the arts as well as those wanting "refresher" courses in business fundamentals are ideal candidates. For professionals who have earned discipline-specific certifications or acquired experience and expertise deemed equivalent to prerequisite courses, the courses may be waived. Applicants who satisfy M.B.A. degrees can be accepted directly into the respective program.
