Foundation Requirements

Foundation requirements are the knowledge and skills of a broad set of business disciplines including accounting, finance, and statistics/math. Academic preparation in these disciplines is necessary prior to advanced study in business. A bachelor’s degree in business or accounting typically satisfies all foundation requirements. As an alternative, the Coles College of Business offers modular programs in each of these areas. The modules are non-credit, self-paced, Internet-driven programs. Completion of a module satisfies the foundation requirements for that area. The modules required are determined for each student based on a thorough analysis of college transcripts showing prior academic course work, and are communicated in the acceptance letter. This table summarizes the business foundation requirements and options for satisfying them.

Foundation requirements are satisfied by successfully completing … … or by completing undergraduate course(s) with a grade of “C” or higher in … … which is the KSU equivalent of …
Accounting Foundations Financial accounting and managerial accounting ACCT 2100 and ACCT 2200
Finance Foundations Finance principles FIN 3100
Statistics and Math Foundations Inferential statistics and algebra ECON 2300 and MATH 1101

Notes:

  1. Undergraduate courses used to satisfy the foundation courses must be from an institution accredited in a manner acceptable to the Coles College of Business.
  2. Foundation requirements must be satisfied at the beginning of the MBA program, typically within the first semester of study;
  3. Enrollment in 8000-level graduate courses is restricted, based on foundations required, until foundation requirements are met;
  4. Admission to the MBA, MAcc, or WebMBA program is required to enroll in these courses;
  5. Students may choose to take the equivalent undergraduate business courses in order to meet Foundation requirements.
