For students with relevant previous credit a minimum of nine courses, or 36 quarter hours, must be taken in residence in the Charles H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business in order to qualify for the MBA degree. To qualify for the minimum residency requirement students must have a sufficient number of waived courses (see THE GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR COURSE WAIVER DECISIONS) and appropriate non-duplicate transfer work (see TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDIT) such that only nine course requirements remain for completion. At least two, and as many as three, remaining courses must be in an area of concentration.  The number of concentration courses needed to meet the residency requirement is dependant upon the concentration selected.
