91福利社

The MBA Program is fully accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Organized in 1916, AACSB International is the premier accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting. 91福利社's MBA Program is one of the oldest AACSB-accredited programs in the United States. In 2009, the program celebrated 60 years of accreditation by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. 91福利社's MBA Program is the only private program in Michigan with AACSB International accreditation.

The MBA Program is open to students of high promise who have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. No prior academic work in business is required. Admission decisions are based on undergraduate grade point average (GPA), work experience, post graduate studies, and recommendations, and GMAT (if needed). The dual degree program is offered cooperatively between the College of Liberal Arts & Education and the College of Business Administration. The Master of Computer Information and Systems (MSCIS) program requires a separate application to the College of Liberal Arts & Education. Admission criteria to the Master of Computer Information and Systems program differ from the MBA Program admission criteria. For questions or assistance regarding the application process to the Master of Health Services Administration, contact Dr. Rita Barrios, Program Chair and Associate Professor at the College of Liberal Arts & Education via telephone at (313) 993-3338 or via e-mail at rita.barrios@udmercy.edu.

The basic requirements for 91福利社's MBA Program involve a 36 credit hour structure which includes the following set of core courses and a set of post-core courses.

Graduate Students should consult the Master of Science in Computer and Information Systems program for program requirements and courses.

Foundation Courses

Foundation requirements include a set of courses designed for those applicants who have had no exposure or limited exposure to business courses in their academic background and/or limited work experience. These courses, up to a maximum of 24 credit hours, may be required to guarantee preparedness for the program's core and post-core requirements.

Each applicant's program requirements are determined immediately following the admission decision. Foundation requirements may be waived, in any number, depending upon the applicant's academic background. The mere fact that a student has completed coursework in one or more particular disciplines or had extensive work experience does not imply that any waiver will be granted. Prior academic work must be of sufficient quantity and quality as to satisfy the specific criteria established. Each student's specific requirements are determined individually with the objective of ensuring the overall quality of that student's degree program.

Conditional Entry Status

Applicants whose admission materials do not lead to regular acceptance into the program may be considered for conditional entry status. Conditional entry status is restricted to a narrow margin of applicants and usually requires a personal interview.
