Course Sequence

MBA 536 and MBA 538. These courses equip the student with the analytical techniques and concepts to master later courses.

The course MBA 588, Policy Development, serves to integrate material covered in the other MBA courses. It should be taken in the final term.

Accelerated MBA - For Accounting Majors who plan to take the Certified Public Account (CPA) Examination
Currently, every candidate for the Ohio CPA examination must have completed 150 college credits before she/he may sit for the examination. Generally, students complete their undergraduate
work with 120 to 130 credit hours. Most students will, therefore, need to take additional course work. Under the Lake Erie College Accelerated MBA Program, students can obtain the additional
required course credits while earning the MBA degree in less time than it would otherwise take.

Students with undergraduate degrees in accounting who intend to take the CPA exam in Ohio will be considered for admission to the Accelerated MBA Program for accounting majors. Students
from any accredited college or university are eligible. Students earning a bachelor’s degree in accounting who have a grade point average of not less than 2.50 and have successfully completed
an undergraduate cost accounting course with a grade of “B” or better, can complete the MBA degree program by completing ten, rather than the normally required twelve, courses. Upon
completion of this unique program, participating students will have earned the MBA degree as well as the additional course credits required for eligibility to sit for the Ohio CPA examination.
