About this course:
This 10-week course is specifically designed for prospective MBA students and taught by UCLA Anderson faculty and staff. Students will be exposed to a variety of topics in a top-tier MBA curriculum, which offers them a way to assess and demonstrate their readiness for MBA-level work.
Participants who have completed the course and are ready to apply to one of the UCLA Anderson School of Management graduate programs may also qualify for a waiver of some admissions fees and/or requirements. Specifically for the Fully Employed MBA Program, participants qualify for an application fee waiver and exam requirement waiver option. Please note the course must be completed with a grade of 85% or higher, and that waiving the exam requirement does not guarantee admission. Applications will still be evaluated on a holistic review including academic performance and career.
