MBA Primer requirement


Purchase of the MBA Primer is required only of students who have been formally admitted to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program by the Florida State University College of Business. The cost of this online review course is $140. (Note: A student's official acceptance letter will contain payment instructions.)

Once payment is received, a student will have access to the online MBA Primer for 365 days. It takes approximately 6-20 hours to complete each course module, depending upon the student's background and familiarity with the subject matter.

Supplemental material provided in the MBA Primer addresses areas where extra preparation might be needed in accounting, economics, finance, and statistics. Since students in our programs tend to be a very diverse group, this ensures a better learning experience for all. Those currently enrolled in the MBA program are completing these "MBA Primer" modules right along with the required curriculum.
