The general MBA consists of 30 credits plus a graduate communications course. There are nine additional pre-requisite/waivable credits that some students will be required to take before taking the required courses. These pre-requisite/waivable courses are only offered via a third-party education provider and must be taken online before the student starts the program at our Vancouver campus. Students specializing in one of the concentrations (finance or business analytics), must take additional six credits.
