Individual development. Personal achievement. Critical Thinking Skills. Teamwork. Leadership. Social responsibility. What will be the defining qualities of your professional life? Our Professional Evening track is designed for working professionals looking to succeed in a wide variety of professional contexts: as an individual, a team player, an innovator and problem solver, and a leader within your organization. Anchored by a series of rigorous foundation courses in economics, finance, marketing, management, accounting, and information systems, our curriculum will enhance your skills, perspective and contribution in the business marketplace. One of the advantages of this track is having students bring to class real-world issues that they are working on and discussing these issues among each other. One faculty member described the classroom environment as "the students teaching the students." You will certainly be enriched by being in the classroom with working professionals or students in other professional programs on campus with diverse backgrounds.

Professional Evening MBA Requirements

Pre-MBA Foundation Courses (Prerequisites)

Professional evening curriculum is fast-paced and rigorous. The faculty assumes that all new Professional Evening students possess a mastery of basic accounting and economics. After careful examination of each applicant's prior coursework, the MBA Admissions Committee will make specific recommendations concerning any areas of deficiency. Certification of pre-MBA foundation courses may be satisfied in one of the following ways:

  1. Passing the required prerequisite courses at the University of Kentucky*:
    • ACC 201 & ACC 202: Financial and Managerial Accounting
    • ECO 201 & ECO 202: Micro- and Macro-economics 
  2. Passing equivalent courses at another accredited university*
  3. Successfully completing the required courses on-line or via equivalent correspondence courses at any accredited university* 
  4. Passing college-level proficiency (CLEP) examinations
  5. Passing B&E 221, B&E 222 and B&E 223 through the Gatton College of Business and Economics

These pre-MBA foundation courses are NOT required for application and initial admission to the Professional Evening program. Indeed, students with pre-MBA foundation course deficiencies may be granted provisional admissionstatus. However, students MUST complete the specified prerequisites PRIOR TO the beginning of the first day of MBA classes. Students will be granted full admission status and allowed to continue in the program ONLY after submitting documentation of successful completion of the required pre-MBA foundation courses.

Generally, it may be assumed that students who have earned an undergraduate degree in business administration (BBA or equivalent) possess a mastery of pre-MBA skills and material. However, applicants who have been out of school for a long period of time, have been working in non-business functions, or feel the need to 'brush up' on their basic skills are strongly encouraged to reacquaint themselves with the pre-MBA foundations by way of option 1 above.
