To be eligible to sit for the MBA comprehensive examination, the student must be fully admitted to the College of Graduate Studies and the MBA program and must be in good standing with the University and the College of Graduate Studies.

The MBA comprehensive examination requirement is met by earning an evaluation of satisfactory or passing on a written comprehensive case analysis. The exam is evaluated on a "blind" review basis by a standing committee of graduate faculty from the College of Business Administration who grade the students' examinations on a pass/fail basis. Comprehensive exams are scheduled once each semester.

A student who receives a grade of unsatisfactory on the examination may retake the examination at its normally scheduled date the following semester. Students needing to retake the examination must contact their Graduate Advisor. Students who fail the exam a second time must meet with their advisor, who will identify additional course work to be completed before taking the exam a third time. Any student failing the comprehensive examination three times will be dropped from the MBA program.

Policies and procedures for the MBA comprehensive examination are under review and subject to change as deemed necessary.
