Undergraduate prerequisites required:
Students should possess a common body of knowledge essential for successful advanced study in management and leadership. This body of knowledge typically includes undergraduate coursework or life experience contributing to a foundation of knowledge in the following areas: marketing; law; management fundamentals; finance/economics; and computer applications. Students with an undergraduate degree in business or management will likely have taken coursework-providing competencies in these areas. Students with non-business undergraduate degrees will usually lack at least some of these competencies and therefore should seek alternative means to satisfy them.
There are various ways that an incoming student can satisfy the competencies required for full standing admission in the program. This includes, but is not limited to, the establishment of sufficient life experience to account for the competencies required in marketing; law; management fundamentals; finance/economics; and computer applications. Sufficient life experience may be demonstrated by any of the following:
- Submission of a portfolio/dossier that consists of an updated vita;
- Successful completion of undergraduate coursework or demonstration of work product generated during the course of employment and/or other professional experiences. The faculty intends to work toward offering coursework to satisfy these competencies via non–traditional alternative delivery methods; or
- Passing the relevant graduate level coursework. Students admitted under the latter criteria would need to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge and competencies by satisfactorily completing MML coursework with a grade of "B" or higher in each course taken.
Plan of Study
Based on the Outcomes established above, the following coursework was established for fulfillment of the common area requirements. All students receiving an MML Degree must complete the common area requirements. Due to the unique structure of the MML, in addition to completion of the common area, students can choose to complete the curriculum requirements established by each of the different departments involved in the proposal. The Curriculum consists of a 33 to 37-credit curriculum including a common area of study in management and leadership philosophy and techniques.
