A new program at Wright State University’s business school allows students to fast track their entrance into the Master of Business Administration degree program.
The program allows students to complete modules for each of the five foundational MBA courses: economics, accounting, finances, business law and business statistics.
Normally students without a business background interested in getting an MBA would have to take those five classes to enter the MBA program. Competing schools have offered alternatives and waivers for these requirements, so Wright State launched the program to attract more students.
The first cohort of students began in July with 16 to 18 graduate students, according to the university.
The program is meant to make MBA education more accessible and efficient for students, said Kristina Healy, academic services director in the Raj Soin College of Business.
Brandon Morris, Wright State associate professor of finance, compared the program to a boot camp.
