Post-Baccalaureate Study Admission
A student with a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university may enroll in graduate courses without being admitted to a degree program. No more than six hours taken in this manner may be applied toward graduate degree requirements. For MBA students, all prerequisites must be satisfied before enrolling in any MBA level course.

Persons who apply for post-baccalaureate study must submit a post-baccalaureate application form and non-refundable $25.00 fee and have official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, in sealed envelopes with institution's seal over the flap, sent directly from the college or university to the John E. Weems Graduate School.
