MASTER IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) PROGRAM AND POLICIES

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINSTRATION

The Curry College MBA is designed to give students the technical training and skills to support data-driven decision-making while building the higher-level strategic mindset needed to lead a business forward.  Faced with massive amounts of data availability and new technology, competency in analytics is a vital skill for corporate job seekers. Based on market research that supports this idea, the Curry College MBA aims to produce career-ready graduates capable of handling, analyzing, and interpreting data. Equally central in the curriculum are complimentary courses covering the core management competencies that train future managers to think across business functions, understand the competitive landscape, and plan strategically.  

The sequence of courses is designed with both effectiveness and efficiency in mind. While it allows students to obtain certification and credentials in a short time frame, essential skills are embedded and reinforced constantly throughout all courses in a certificate so that the holder is proficient and ready to apply their knowledge immediately upon completion of the three or four-course sequence.

MBA Course Transfer Policy

At the discretion of the MBA Director of Masters Programs, up to two courses may be considered for transfer into the program. Transfer credit will only be awarded for courses taken in a Master of Business Administration program. Students must have received a grade of “B” or better. Courses from graduate programs other than an MBA program are not transferable. Once a student is matriculated at Curry College, no transfer credit will be allowed. To have coursework reviewed for transfer credit, students must submit all original syllabi and transcripts. All decisions are final.

Grades and Academic Standing

The minimum passing grade in each course is a B-. A grade of C+ or lower in any course is cause for academic review and necessitates repeating the course. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to remain in good academic standing.

Academic review will take place if the GPA falls below a 3.0 or for an individual course grade of less than a B-. Students must also maintain a satisfactory rate of progress measured by cumulative attempted credits. A student is making satisfactory progress when at least 67% of attempted credits have been completed with a passing grade. The complete Graduate Academic Standing policy can be found in the Graduate Studies Policies section of this Catalog. Additional policies and information for the MBA program are in the MBA Policies and Procedures Document posted within the MBA Toolbox on all course sites.
