DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

MBA Degree Requirements
A total of 51 credit hours of graduate coursework (may also require an additional 9 credit hours of prerequisite coursework in accounting, statistics and economics) and a minimum GPA of 3.0 are necessary for completion of the MBA. The MBA curriculum, for students with a business undergraduate degree, will generally consist of 51 credit hours or fewer 600-level courses.

Depending on undergraduate preparation or graduate courses taken elsewhere, students may be able to reduce credit hours by as many as 15 credits. Despite the number of transfer credits and waivers for which a student may be eligible, a minimum of 36 credit hours must be taken in Sacred Heart University's MBA program.

Students who have not taken undergraduate business courses in accounting, statistics, and economics in the last six years will be required to take the program's equivalent. International students may be required to take one or more English courses.
