Prerequisites & Background Coursework

Upon admission, our team will evaluate your transcript(s) and you will be notified in your admission email if you need to complete any background requirements. These background requirements are not UNT courses and are online modules through third party sites. Our background requirements for MBA students include:

  • Financial Accounting
  • Business Law

The financial accounting requirement is completed through LinkedIn Learning and is free to all UNT students. Students must complete a quiz listed on our Canvas page, scoring at least 80% to pass with unlimited attempts.

The business law requirement is completed through Ivy Software and is $100.00. Students must take an in-module exam, scoring at least 80% to pass with three attempts. 

Students are not required to have these background courses before applying to our MBA programs, but they must either meet the requirements or have them completed in order to be eligible for graduation. These grades are not reflected on your UNT transcripts.
