We find that the hardest MBA courses for many students are Applied Corporate Financial Accounting, Managerial Finance, and Managerial Economics, especially if you do not have an undergraduate degree in business, or if you have significant gaps in your background and preparation for the MBA program.

In these situations, we require students to complete between one and three self-paced online preparation course(s) through MBA PrepWorks, a nationally renowned MBA preparation learning company. More details about this process are available by inquiring.

One or more of the bridge courses are not required if you have an undergraduate business degree that includes financial accounting, finance, and economics, or if you have demonstrated professional work experience providing a strong foundation in these areas, or if you have recorded a GMAT score of 600 or higher.

MBA MyWay students are always welcome to take one or more of the low-cost preparation courses if they just want to refresh their knowledge and set themselves up for success.
