An applicant is not required to have majored in business on the undergraduate level, but certain core competencies must be demonstrated to register for some required M.B.A. courses. Core competencies that meet requirements are listed below (along with PCC courses). Competencies may be demonstrated through successful completion of the undergraduate courses (with at least a “C-”) or through successful completion of the corresponding Peregrine Academic Leveling Modules.

- Finance—Corporate Finance—one year (BA 301 and 302)
