Prerequisites

Three Semester Credit Hours

Students pursuing the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program at the Naveen Jindal School of Management (JSOM) are required to complete the following prerequisite:

  • OPRE 6303 Quantitative Foundation of Business

For OPRE 6303, applicants are automatically considered for a waiver if they have completed calculus at the undergraduate or graduate level with a grade of “B” or better. The OPRE 6303 requirement must be satisfied within the first semester of graduate study. Degree credit is not earned for program prerequisites; however, the grade achieved in prerequisites taken at UT Dallas will count toward the student’s grade-point average (GPA).

The Full-Time MBA program and Executive MBA programs do not require any prerequisites.
