These courses will count towards your MBA degree once you are accepted as long as you receive a grade of “B-” or better.

Benefits of the Non-Degree Program

  • If you have a low GPA, this is a good way to show the admissions committee that you can succeed in MBA-level courses.
  • If you missed the matriculation deadline, this allows you to still begin taking classes in the upcoming semester.
  • It’s a good way for students to get a feel for the Flex MBA program before fully matriculating.

The Non-Degree Application process is simple, and allows you to request the course(s) you are interested in taking.  Apply today.
