Prerequisite Course Review
For review of past coursework, email unofficial transcripts from all colleges or universities attended to Dr. Neel Das (dasn@appstate.edu) and Cele Burt (burtcc@appstate.edu). Upon review, you will receive an email detailing which prerequisite courses, if any, are needed.
If Prerequisites are Not Met
There are two options to complete prerequisite courses not satisfied by prior academic work. Students can complete the online prerequisite module or take the undergraduate class.
Complete Online Prerequisite Module
The MBA program offers a self-paced, accelerated prerequisite program that can be completed in 20-40 hours per subject. There is a cost associated with these modules, not to exceed $175 per subject.
Once you have received your prerequisite review email, contact Donna Lindabury (lindaburydm@appstate.edu) to learn more and/or order the prerequisite modules.
All prerequisite purchases are non-refundable, and we recommend that you wait to begin your required prerequisite courses until an admission offer has been extended.
Students who are unable to successfully complete any prerequisite module will be required to take the corresponding undergraduate class.
Take the Undergraduate Class

- Accounting (ACC 2100 or 1050)
