Program Requirements

Students admitted to the PMBA program must complete three pre-enrollment requirements prior to registering for their first semester of graduate study. These requirements are:

  1. Mathematical Skills Prerequisite

    Entering students are expected to have an understanding of basic mathematics (i.e., basic algebraic operations, relations and functions, exponents, logarithms, sets and functions, linear equations, differentiation, integration, slope and extrema). This requirement is ordinarily satisfied by one of the following:

    • Satisfactory (i.e., with a grade of "C" or better) completion of a three-hour course in Introductory Applied Calculus or College Algebra or Mathematics with Emphasis on Business Applications; or
    • A score corresponding to or better than the 80th percentile on the quantitative portion of the GMAT test; or
    • Satisfactory evidence of mathematical competence through a combination of courses taken in mathematics, statistics or economics prior to entering the program, and/or a make-up course that may be taken during the first semester of the Neeley School MBA Program. (For specific details, contact the Neeley Graduate Programs Office.)
  2. Accounting Skills Prerequisite

    Entering students are expected to complete an online accounting course prior to START workshop. Information on enrolling in this course is provided by the MBA admissions department upon a student's decision to enroll in the MBA program.

  3. START Workshop

    START workshop takes place on campus in the weeks before fall classes begin. During this workshop students receive instruction in teamwork and leadership; a campus and degree program orientation; self-assessment exercises for purposes of leadership and career development; and meet their program cohort group.

Leadership Development and Executive Coaching

This program is designed to assist professional MBA students in the development of their leadership skills and build awareness of the importance of leadership influence and identified competencies. Students attend leadership development workshops in the fall semester and can opt to take a leadership assessment in the spring semester which is followed by one-to-one executive coaching.

The START Workshop is the beginning of this program. Focus is on the "soft skills" needed to succeed in today's business environment. These skills include self understanding, working with others to develop meaningful solutions to problems and leading other people. Competencies on which this program focuses are identified and updated by key employers of Neeley School MBA students and graduates.

The START Workshop, Professional Development Program and other activities are required components of BUSI 66100 Career Management and Professional Development core course. Students begin completing these components upon entry into the program, but they enroll in the course during their second semester.

Business Simulation (BUSI 60070)

After completing all required courses, students participate in a complex computer simulation of a realistic business situation. Teams of students make decisions involving a diverse set of business functions and are required to develop an overall business strategy for their firm. This course also builds on the competencies that were the developmental focus of the BUSI 66100 course.
