Incoming flex M.B.A. students are expected to
demonstrate competence in calculus, statistics, and computer skills. Faculty
assume that students will have active knowledge of the required materials
throughout the program.
Calculus/Statistics Proficiency
Calculus:
Students who have completed a prior
3-credit undergraduate level course in calculus with a grade of B or better, will have satisfied this requirement.* AP
calculus does not waive the prerequisite. There is no time limit for when
the course was taken.
Statistics:
Students who have completed a prior
3-credit undergraduate level course in statistics with a grade of B or better, and have done so within no more than four years
of admission to RBS, will have satisfied this requirement.*
Two ways to satisfy the prerequisite if needed:
Rutgers
Business School-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) requires the purchase of
online Zoologic Business Essentials for all master of business
administration (M.B.A.) students. You may use the calculus and statistics
modules to satisfy your prerequisites by doing the course online
and passing the final exam with a grade of 80 or better. No credits are
earned toward the M.B.A. degree.
Calculus and
statistics may be taken at a community college. To waive the prerequisite, you
must earn a grade of B or better and send the transcript to RBS when the
course(s) is completed. These credits will not count toward the M.B.A.
degree.
Flex M.B.A.
students have until the end of their first semester to complete this requirement.
Computer Proficiency
Students
are expected to have basic knowledge in the use of word processing,
spreadsheet, and database programs as well as basic DOS and Windows skills.
Students with limited exposure to computers might consider enrolling in a
course prior to the beginning of classes.
