Admission, Registration and Fee Information

MBA Foundation Courses

The purpose of the MBA Foundation Courses is to prepare students for the MBA core courses.

Degree-seeking Graduate Students
This classification is for students who have completed a bachelor's degree and are seeking a graduate degree. If you have any questions, please contact the Dr. James Simmerman. Course descriptions and additional information is available at the MBA Foundations web site.

Non Degree-Seeking Graduate Students (postbaccalaureate)
You may take up to nine hours of the MBA Foundation courses. If you wish to take more, you must be admitted into the MBA program. Please contact Dr. James Simmerman, Director of the MBA program.

The Non Degree-Seeking classification is for students who have a bachelor's degree and wish to return to take additional courses but do not wish to pursue an additional degree may enroll as postbaccalaureate students without providing transcripts. Postbaccalaureate students may take either undergraduate or graduate courses (courses numbered 500 and higher automatically carry graduate credit for students in the postbaccalaureate classification). The only limitation is that no more than 9 hours of graduate credit may be accumulated under this classification. A maximum of 9 hours of graduate credit earned as a postbaccalaureate student can be applied toward a graduate degree at Missouri State University, and this application of credit is contingent upon program requirements.
