MBA Leveling Course - Students from a Variety of Backgrounds 

In the Master of Business Administration Program, there are no undergraduate prerequisites to graduate-level course work. Working professionals with bachelor's degrees from a wide range of fields find the program well suited for continuing professional development.  

Students who possess undergraduate degrees in a non-business field, and who do not have significant business-related work experience, are required to take BA 500 MBA Fundamentals in preparation for MBA coursework. BA 500 is an online,1 credit course that provides students with foundational knowledge and skills in a range of business education topic areas. Students must achieve a post-test score of 70% or better in each module to successfully complete the course. Students will be required to retake any modules in which they achieve a post-test score lower than 70%. BA 500 must be successfully completed before students can register for additional MBA coursework.

Graduate Nursing Transfer Credit

Up to twelve credits of appropriate graduate-level coursework, earned within five years prior to enrollment in Husson’s Master of Science in Nursing program, may be transferred from an accredited institution, provided a grade of 'B' or higher was earned in each course.
