Level I -- Foundation
Courses (0-15 credits) - Foundation courses are required
for students without prior business courses. These requirements
can be waived with prior graduate ("B" or better)
or undergraduate ("C" or better) course work.
A test-out option is also available for all Foundation courses
to students after admission to the MBA Program. Foundation
courses are available at UW Oshkosh, in Green Bay, and on
the Internet. A grade of "B" or better must be earned
in each Foundation course.
Why do I need a grade of B or better in graduate Foundation course work? 
Foundation courses can be completed either before OR after admission to the MBA Program. However, if you are interested in taking advantage of Financial Aid, you must be an admitted student.
