As a student, from the first day of class, you will be expected to implement managerial leadership principles in your current professional position.

MBA credit-equivalency for professional accomplishments

We value our students’ professional achievements, and express that recognition with MBA credit-equivalency for work experience. A student can fulfill as much as 50% of requirements for the program through credit-equivalency and the transfer of previously earned graduate credits. The majority of our students take advantage of this opportunity to some degree. Unlike many colleges, Globe University/Minnesota School of Business does not assess charges for tuition for applying credit-equivalency for work experience or the transfer of graduate credits. Contact a college representative for more information.
