Credit for Work Experience: An MBA Degree for the Real World


As a working professional, you learn and grow daily. At Globe University/Minnesota School of Business, we recognize that fact, and grant credit-equivalency for work experience toward requirements of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program. Our MBA work-experience program offers some unique and distinct advantages over those of other colleges:

  • Documented work experience can be used to fulfill up to a maximum of 50% of MBA program requirements.
  • GU/MSB does not charge tuition when granting MBA credit-equivalency for work experience.
  • Since our MBA program is designed for working professionals, the majority of students fulfill some program requirements in this way.

IDSEvery aspect of our Master of Business Administration program is designed to help you build on your academic and workplace experience. Contact a representative to inquire about work experience. Our education department will carefully evaluate your application and see that you take the most direct and efficient route to your degree.

Work experience can be used to fulfill requirements of classroom and online MBA programs.

Criteria for prior work experience to be applied toward MBA program requirements:

  • Work experience must have been at increasingly rigorous levels of learning equivalent to college coursework.
  • Experience, to be applied to the MBA program, must have progressed in complexity and level of responsibility.
  • Documentation must demonstrate that performance objectives and applied course requirements as described on the course syllabus have been met.

Program benefits for international MBA students

Since the Master of Business Administration program at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business requires students to apply principles studied in their current jobs, international MBA students with F-1 status may qualify for work authorization for curricular-related employment from the first day of classes.
