The entire MBA program with foundation courses consists of 48 credit hours. For students with the appropriate undergraduate preparation, the foundational courses may be waived. The remaining 36 credits are required. The waiving of foundation courses is determined by the Graduate Admissions Committee of the Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business. Students can ask to place out of a foundation course by providing evidence of successful completion (grade of “C” or better) of appropriate undergraduate coursework in the subject area within the previous 10 years or passing a placement exam. Requests to take a placement exam are made to the director of the MBA program.
