MBA Program Requirements – San Diego State University

The MBA requires a 30-48 unit program of study that consists of five major components – a core of basic business courses, theme courses, courses in the specialization, electives, and a culminating experience. Developing a program of study for the MBA degree requires careful planning and you are encouraged to discuss the plan with your academic advisor.

1. MBA Core Courses (0 to 21 units)

These seven core courses will provide a solid foundation in each of the key business disciplines. One or more of these may be waived by the Graduate Business Programs office if you have completed an equivalent course at an AACSB-accredited university within the past 5 years and earned a grade of ‘B’ or higher. Courses completed at non-AACSB schools will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Core Courses
BA 650 – Financial Reporting & Analysis I
BA 651 – Organizational Behavior
BA 652 – Statistical Analysis
BA 653 – Managerial Economics
BA 655 – Marketing
BA 662 – Operations Management
BA 665 – Financial Management I

Once you have been admitted to the MBA program, you must take the graduate-level core course. It is advisable for students to take the core classes as early as possible during their studies at SDSU. You may not be able to enroll in certain graduate level courses until you have completed a core course.

2. MBA Theme Courses (6 units) - San Diego State UniversityBusiness-School-SDSU-MBA-Program-San-Diego-2

A. Corporate Responsibility: These courses aim to help you develop a deep understanding and appreciation of the legal, ethical and social context in which management decisions are made.

Business Graduate Programs at San Jose State University (SJSU)

The Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business provides an innovative, high quality business education that delivers thought solutions to the Silicon Valley and global business community. The graduate education is supported by shared core values that respect individual efforts and contributions, inclusiveness and collaboration, and lifelong learning and professional development.

The Lucas Graduate School of Business offers a range of graduate degrees through its Masters in Business Administration program and Masters of Science programs. These programs are infused with a global focus and deliver high value education that positions graduates to succeed in the competitive and ever-changing global marketplace. Programs include a full-time MBA, part-time MBA, a full-time one-year MBA, an MS in Accountancy, an MS in Taxation and an MS in Transportation Management.

Conventional MBA Program at San Jose State University (SJSU)

The Conventional MBA program is designed for individuals who prefer the rich and vibrant educational atmosphere provided by the San José State University campus setting. The full-time program is structured more traditionally with a small student cohort who will proceed through the program and complete the MBA within an eighteen to twenty-four month timeline. Instruction in our MBA program is a combination of case studies, lectures, team projects, simulation games, computer analysis, student presentations, and presentations by members of the business community.

Each incoming Conventional MBA cohort will begin the program in the Summer term. Semester-length courses that meet one evening or afternoon per week will be offered during the 16-week Fall and Spring semester cycles. A limited number of accelerated courses will be available on campus during the Winter terms. There will be a Study Abroad opportunity with a select number of our partner schools in the second Summer of enrollment.  Students will be required to take the MBA core courses in a sequenced lock-step manner. The four elective courses may be selected from the Conventional MBA general schedule.

The Conventional MBA program brings together high achievers from a variety of academic, career, and cultural backgrounds.  Though work experience is not required for admission, new students entering the Conventional MBA program will have on average up to 5 years experience in the work force. Opportunities will exist for students to work as graduate assistants with our distinguished faculty.

All of the Lucas School’s MBA programs are generalist in nature, though students have the ability to take elective courses in their area of interest.  The reason for this is twofold: to give students a broad overview and understanding of all of the major functional areas required to successfully manage an enterprise, and to help students move into the ranks of upper management rather than becoming functional specialists.

Important Information and DeadlinesBusiness-School-SJSU-MBA-Program-San-Jose-2
The application deadline is March 1st, 2011.
The document deadline is March 15th, 2011.

Prerequisite course completion or evidence of current enrollment in unfulfilled prerequisite course requirements must be presented at the time of application and/or no later than the document deadline of March 15th.

Curriculum-MBA Program at SJSU

The College of Business offers general MBA programs. Both the Conventional and Executive-Style MBA programs allow you to choose 4 electives in areas that interest you. These electives supplement a core of 10 courses and 3 prerequisite courses. Each MBA program consists of a total of 14 courses (42 units) in addition to the 3 prerequisites. Coursework follows a progression. (more…)

Business School at California State University – East Bay, Hayward (CSUEB)

Business School at California State University-East Bay, Hayward (CSUEB)Business-School-CSUEB-Hayward-MBA-Program-1

In addition to the set of common requirements for the M.B.A., M.S. in Business Administration, and M.S. in Taxation degrees presented in the preceding section, there are requirements specific to the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree. These requirements are discussed in this section

General Curricular Requirements for M.B.A. Degree Programs Accredited by AACSB
The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business is the professional accrediting body for Business Administration degree programs. All College of Business and Economics degree programs are accredited by AACSB and the graduate programs in the College of Business and Economics are designed to comply with the listed AACSB curriculum guidelines.

Proficiency Evaluations
The M.B.A. degree program requires the writing skills proficiency evaluation described previously under the Common Requirements for the M.B.A., M.S. in Business Administration, and M.S. in Taxation degrees. In addition, if you are enrolled in the M.B.A. degree program, you are required to satisfy proficiency requirements in introductory mathematics and statistics. To satisfy the mathematics proficiency, you must have completed equivalent coursework in introductory differential calculus, college algebra, matrix algebra, and finite math. If you have not completed such coursework, you must take MATH 1130, 1810, and 1820. The statistics requirement may be met by a course in statistics that is equivalent to STAT 2010 or STAT 6011.

Foundation Coursework for the M.B.A.
The M.B.A. program is built upon a foundation of fundamental disciplines which, in the aggregate, underlie the graduate business curriculum. The nature and composition of this foundation is discussed below. It is not necessary to complete all, or even any, of the foundation coursework before applying for admission to the M.B.A. degree program. In fact, it is strongly recommended that application to the M.B.A. program be made as early as practicable. If you are admissible and have not satisfied the foundation coursework, you will be admitted as a “Conditionally Classified Graduate” student.

Having “Conditionally Classified Graduate” status allows you to enroll in the 6000 to 6099 series of graduate-level foundation courses. These are accelerated courses designed for graduate-level students. Using these courses, where available, substantially reduces the number of undergraduate units that would otherwise be required to achieve “Classified Graduate” standing.

Equivalent previous coursework will satisfy listed foundation courses. Students who have received an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from an AACSB-accredited institution are exempt from the foundation coursework requirements. Contact the CBE Student Services Center for a list of AACSB-accredited institutions. A grade of “C-” or better is necessary for a transfer of a Cal State Hayward course (whether completed currently or in the past) to be accepted for foundation requirements. Note also that all 6000 to 6099 numbered Business Administration courses (i.e., ACCT, CIS, FIN, MGMT, MKTG, and ECON) with titles beginning with “Graduate Introduction to . . .” are graduate program foundation courses and cannot be calculated as part of the 45 units required for a CBE graduate degree.
