To be considered for admission to the MBA degree program, students must have a bachelor's degree and submit the following credentials to the Graduate Enrollment Office:

Pre-MBA Requirements

Once we receive your undergraduate transcripts, we will review them to determine if you have completed sufficient business courses to prepare you for the RMU MBA program. If not, you will be required to complete some Pre-MBA courses.

There are seven Pre-MBA courses totaling 14 credits; you take only the ones you need. Courses are a combination of faculty advisement, self-study, online instruction and competency exams. Subjects covered include accounting, calculus, economics, finance, marketing, management and statistics. You may be able to finish the program in as little as 8 weeks. Courses include an online study component.

The following seven two-credit courses fulfill Pre-MBA requirements:

MBAP5012	Accounting Interactive
MBAP5022	Finance Interactive
MBAP5032	Economic Literacies
MBAP5042	Quantitative Skills/Calculus-Based Interactive
MBAP5052	Quantitative Skills/Statistics-Based Interactive
MBAP5062	Management Principles and Organizational Behavior
MBAP5072	Marketing Principles and Marketing Plans

Students who need to spend more time in class with an instructor to synthesize course material may choose to complete an undergraduate course equivalent for one or more Pre-MBA courses. This should not be done without proper approval and advisement from the Director of the MBA.
