School Profiles
Diverse curriculum. In addition to a broad view of the functional areas of business, the UD MBA provides students with the opportunity to explore areas of interest in greater detail. Specializations, concentrations, and dual degree programs provide you with numerous options for tailoring your degree!
Educational philosophy that is on the cutting “EDGE!” The four cornerstones of the UD MBA prepare our graduates for success in a competitive global business environment. These cornerstones are:
Flexibility for international students. Through our MBA-Conditional Admissions Program (MBA-CAP), international applicants who are not native English-speakers can apply to the MBA program—and NO TOEFL exam score is required! In addition, MBA-CAP applicants can apply without a GMAT exam score! With the MBA-CAP, international students enroll in courses to improve their English skills and to prepare for the GMAT exam before beginning their MBA coursework. All students must submit a qualifying GMAT score before beginning their MBA courses.
Pre-MBA program. This program focuses on teaching students English skills that are specific to business, such as presentation and negotiation skills, business vocabulary and correspondence, and case study analysis. In addition, the Pre-MBA program provides an overview of basic concepts in management, marketing, finance, and economics.
