BARUCH COLLEGE - zicklin : school of business - CUNY

As previously noted, admission into this proposed MS in Entrepreneurship will be the same as the current MBA in
Management/Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. Often the admitted students will have had an
undergraduate degree similar to Baruch College’s BBA in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management or an
equivalent degree. In addition, the MS in Entrepreneurship features 6-credit preliminary requirements:
Credits
ACC 9110 Financial Accounting 3
MKT 9703 Marketing Management 3
Students with prior academic backgrounds can waive these preliminary course requirements, in full or in part, if
equivalents have been completed successfully. ACC9110 can be waived based on three credits of undergraduate
financial accounting completed with a minimum grade of B-. MKT9703 can be waived based on three credits of
undergraduate marketing management completed with a grade average of B-.
Thus, in total, two courses or six credits (or their equivalents), one Financial Accounting course and one Marketing
Management course will be required of students prior to entry into the MS in Entrepreneurship or while they
complete the required courses in their program. Specifically and related to these preliminary requirements listed
above, the pre- or corequisite for the required course MGT9865 is ACC9110 (or its equivalent), the required course
MGT9860, and MKT9703 (or its equivalent). Two required courses require no pre- or corequisites—MGT9860 and
MGT9867, and the other two required courses, MGT9861 and MGT9862 have the first required course MGT9860
as a pre- or corequisite. Again, the required courses with their respective pre- or corequisites (or their equivalents)
relative to this MS in Entrepreneurship are somewhat similar in number and type/intensity to other MS programs
within the Zicklin School, such as the MS in Marketing, MS in Finance, and MS in Real Estate. All of these preand
corequisites are listed among the course descriptions in Appendix C and summarized in Table C-1. Also, the
typical semester program planning allows time for these prerequisites to be completed, see Appendix D.
Depending on the elective course choices, additional pre- or corequisites may be required (or their equivalents);
namely, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Marketing courses all have additional prerequisites (see
Appendix C. For example, students who might choose either FIN9774 and/or FIN9781 as electives will need to first
take FIN9770 which is the prerequisite for both courses (note that STA 9708 is a prerequisite for FIN9770). Six of
the other electives have assorted prerequisites or their equivalents. Note that once a student has completed or is
currently enrolled in MGT9865, that same student might choose to complete the two Marketing electives that have
MKT 9703 as a pre- or corequisite and these electives are: MKT9701 and MKT9750; or the student might take
MGT9875.
Finally, five electives have no pre- or corequisites (in one case, department permission is required) and these
electives are: CIS9230, LAW9708, MGT9864, MGT9868, and MKT9764.
