It says those pre-reqs are only if you do not have a BSBA, no??

Hi Dbrennan118,

Just wondering, besides the extra AACSB accreditation, why you were interested in this program?
I think I have pretty much set my sites on a few to chose from when I am done with my Bachelors.
It's an interesting degree option as its fully online I believe, it's a good deal for $325/credit but just a bit more than I would like to pay for an MBA.

Thanks, BJ

Hey BJ. That is the main attraction - I don't think as of fall 2016 you will pay less (if yes, barely) for AACSB accredited MBA. For me this is a very important feature, as AACSB is the gold standard. For that price, I feel it is well worth it. If you don't care about that level of accreditation, you can definitely do better with a comp-based (WGU, Patten) or other non-AACSB school.

Not that I can see. It doesn't say a word about previous degree, but lists the MBA Core Prerequisites. Course Requirements - Southeast Missouri State University

Maybe I'm wrong, but look here (best part it mentions CLEP testing): http://www.semo.edu/pdf/degree_map/grad/...-Guide.pdf
All undergraduate requirements for admission must be satisfied before enrolling
in the MBA required core or MBA elective courses. Students without an
undergraduate degree in business must complete necessary foundation course
work:
 Principles of Microeconomics*
 Principles of Macroeconomics*
 Microcomputer Applications
 Introductory Statistics
 College Algebra*
 Business Statistics II or Applied Calculus* or College Calculus*
 Principles of Financial Accounting*
 Principles of Managerial Accounting
 Principles of Management*
 Principles of Marketing*
 Financial Management
 Management Information Systems*

*Proficiency in these areas can be proven through a CLEP exam. Credit will not be
given for these courses with a passing grade on the exam, but score will be taken
as proof of course knowledge

Well, I'll call them tomorrow, ask directly, and let you know :-)

Should've known better than to disagree with dfrecore :o
Spoke to the head of the business school at SEMO - ALL prereq course are required, even if you have a BSBA.
This includes what I have listed above, including one of the following:  Business Statistics II or Applied Calculus* or College Calculus*
Well, I could take the Calculus CLEP (yuck) or 1 online class (double-yuck). Maybe I'll just go for a MS in Management instead!

Get approval prior but Straighterline would be an excellent option for the Calculus. The course for both Calculus I & II consist of:

4 Graded Exams (500 possible points)
1 Midterm Exam (150 possible points)
1 Final Exam (350 possible points)

Passing Grade 700 (total possible 1,000)

Put some study time together and could see most getting these credits secured.

Heavily leaning towards Amberton University but Southeast Missouri State University keeps circling the wagons.
