Program Structure
- Year One: Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA)
- Year Two: MEEM degree
The purpose of the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) is to ensure all students, regardless of their educational backgrounds, have the business knowledge and skills to successfully apply the economic sustainable management principles learned. Students must complete the six courses in the GDBA to be admitted to the master’s degree Year 2 but may receive a course waiver for some or all of the GDBA courses based on their previous academic record.
Applicants with a four-year business degree from an acceptable institution may be eligible to proceed directly to the MEEM accelerated program as described below.
Students may receive course waivers for specific GDBA courses if the degree committee determines they have recent equivalent undergraduate or graduate course work in the area from an acceptable institution.
