4/18/16 The Gatton College of Business and Economics at the University of Kentucky is making it easier for regional businesspeople to pursue an MBA with a new, more convenient online prerequisite option. Prospective students interested in both the One Year Accelerated MBA and Professional Evening MBA programs can now fulfill their prerequisites through IVY Software, an interactive online educational software that helps prospective business candidates obtain the required foundational knowledge to prepare for an MBA program.
Students can conveniently access IVY online and complete the coursework at their own pace. Each of the required UK MBA prerequisites is just $60 per course.
In addition, IVY is used by many other AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accredited schools, and is a proven provider in helping business candidates obtain the basic fundamentals to enter into MBA graduate programs.
“We are pleased to introduce IVY as an additional option for our students to satisfy the required MBA prerequisites,” said Harvie Wilkinson, UK’s MBA program director. “Students can obtain the fundamental principles in economics and accounting at their own pace and through the flexibility of online learning.”
The One Year Accelerated MBA and Professional Evening MBA programs currently require four prerequisites: “Micro/Macro economics,” “Financial Accounting” and “Managerial Accounting.” Students can easily purchase the required courses that they need from the University of Kentucky’s E-commerce site on IVY.
