MBA Preparatory Courses
For those with a non-business background, the Schiller MIM degree or individual MBA preparatory courses offer unique opportunities. Pursuit of a graduate degree in business is an excellent opportunity for individuals whose primary background is a concentration in law, engineering, computer science, architecture, social/natural sciences, or other non-business related fields. The MIM degree complements their academic background, improving their chances of promotion and enhancing their employment options.
In particular, students who are lacking a background in business administration can face a barrier to many competitive career opportunities. Schiller's programs can bridge the gap between knowledge of law, engineering, and other non-business backgrounds and their application to business situations.
At Schiller, there are two paths toward graduate business studies that are open to individuals whose undergraduate work was in a non-business-related area:
(1) A Master of International Management (MIM) degree
Or
(2) Specified individual prerequisite courses
Successful completion of either of these programs guarantees students admission to the Schiller MBA program. All Schiller campuses offering the MBA degree also offer individual prerequisite courses required for introduction into the MBA program.
Students with a Bachelor's degree or the equivalent may begin their MBA studies in courses for which they have completed the necessary prerequisites, while concurrently completing the remaining required prerequisites. Candidates who have completed Bachelor's degrees or the equivalent in fields other than business and have not completed the required core courses (see the MBA Admissions Requirements) are advised to consult with an Schiller campus admissions office.
Offered at the following campuses: Florida, London, Heidelberg, Online
