Equivalent courses successfully completed (with “A”, “B” or “C” grades) in the student’s
undergraduate program at a UAE (MoHESR) accredited institution are considered as sufficient
preparation. Otherwise, the student must complete the required courses in the foundation prior to
enrolling in the first MBA course. Students who consider themselves proficient through experience or
self-study in any of these courses may complete a “Satisfaction by Exam” in lieu of course work.
MBA Core Courses – The core courses, built upon the foundation coursework, provide the MBA
student with in-depth exposure to the interrelated functional disciplines of business. Advanced
coursework in business such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing and Management also prepares
students for courses in their specific concentration. At the same time, the approach in these courses
reflects that business problems require integrated solutions, solid communication skills are necessary to
conduct business, that teamwork is the way to get things done, and that every individual is a leader who
is responsible and accountable for their performance. Each MBA student is required to satisfy eight
courses in the MBA core area. These courses are intended to provide the student the depth and breadth
of knowledge with the rigors of graduate- level study beyond the foundation.
