 Return to: G. Brint Ryan College of Business
The MBA in Management is a rigorous full-time program designed to prepare a selective cohort of students for leadership in their careers. The curriculum relies heavily on experiential learning, industry interaction, and team collaboration. The intensive cohort structure is built around industry interaction, and the larger goal of the program is to nurture future business leaders who become change agents. The program exposes students to explicit knowledge about various aspects of business (across all sectors) and helps students translate this knowledge into tacit capabilities.
Designed for students who hold degrees from any major, the ideal candidate will be academically curious and professionally motivated. While many students are recent graduates, any candidate seeking a full-time MBA is welcome and encouraged to apply.

Degree requirements
Course requirements for the MBA with a major in Management include the MBA core courses and 18 hours of courses in the major. Graduate students in masters programs may enroll in more than 9 credit hours in fall or spring semesters, and more than 6 credit hours in summer only with department or Graduate Programs Office consent.
Background requirements
A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and admission to the Toulouse Graduate School are needed for graduate standing.
Students may have acquired this background in their undergraduate programs by the completion of courses equivalent in content to UNT’s business foundation requirements for the bachelor’s degree in business administration. In addition, students are required to have a working knowledge of computer-based business tools. The G. Brint Ryan College of Business Graduate Programs Office works with students to determine if background deficiency courses will be necessary. Background content might include Financial and Managerial Accounting, Business Information Systems, Statistics, Business Law, Finance, Marketing, Micro and Macro Economics, Operations Management and Calculus. Deficiencies can be completed via traditional academic coursework or through Ivy Software and Responsive.net. Ivy Software and Responsive.net deliver self-paced online learning modules that provide the needed background content without the need to formally enrolling in courses at UNT. For more information go to cob.unt.edu/masters.
Additional requirements
The nature of the MBA program requires that the student possess a proficiency in computer skills, including word processing, spreadsheet and database software. Finally, the program requires students to possess communication skills that allow one to identify relevant information and, in turn, to provide that information to others in written or verbal format. It is the student’s responsibility to acquire these competencies prior to taking courses in the program of study. These competencies will be assumed. However, the departmental advisors will recommend courses for students not possessing these competencies.
Additional advanced undergraduate courses in the proposed major field may be required as prerequisite work of students who have a different specialization at the undergraduate level or who hold a bachelor’s degree in some area other than business.
Background requirements must be removed prior to enrollment in courses that count as part of the 36 semester hours required for a master’s degree, unless the consent of the departmental advisor is first obtained.
