Courses in this Program

CSU Global’s online Master’s in Business Administration degree requires the completion of 30 core credits – six core MBA courses, and four specialization courses.

Specific Admission Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or higher. A student without a bachelor’s or graduate degree from a business-accredited (ACBSP, AACSB, or IACBE) program must demonstrate knowledge in accounting, finance, economics, and marketing. This can be achieved by:

  1. Completion of individual courses in each of these areas
  2. Completion of CSU Global’s 3-credit BUS500 (Foundations of Business) course: This course reviews the underlying principles of business topics including marketing, finance, accounting, management, law, economics, ethics, information systems, quantitative methods, and policy within domestic and global perspectives. The broad focus of the course provides students without an undergraduate degree in business a foundation of business terminology and concepts that support entry-level knowledge for graduate-level study.
  3. Completion a similar prerequisite course or program at another institution

Note: Some Master of Business Administration students may also be required to take RES501 as part of their program if they have an undergraduate GPA below 3.00. In this case, the degree is 33 credit hours.
