Management Competency Assessment
The Masters of Business Administration (MBA) is built upon the expectation that students will enter the program with a solid business background to succeed in core MBA courses. Therefore the MBA requires entering students to have prior foundational knowledge in all core business disciplines to be successful.
Students entering in the MBA program without an undergraduate degree in business will be required to complete a Management Competency Assessment before starting courses. The Assessment covers the following areas of business: accounting; business law; business policy; business strategy; economics; ethics; finance; information technology; leadership; management; marketing; operations management; organizational behavior ; and statistics. The Management Competency Assessment allows entering students to assess their knowledge of fundamental core business disciplines. The Management Competency Assessment is provided free of charge for entering MBA students.
If the student can show evidence of a GMAT score of 500 or above or has evidence of significant professional experience in all of the business discipline areas, the Management Competency Assessment requirements may be waived. Students continuing from AIU’s Bachelor of Accounting or Bachelor of Healthcare Management programs are exempt from the Management Competency Assessment Requirement.
