Requirements

Composed of 8 core classes and 2 electives, the MaineMBA requires 30 credit hours. All core business classes must be taken at the University of Maine. Electives can be chosen from any general or concentration offerings, including selections in accounting, data analytics, and leadership. A grade of B- or better is required in all classes.

Specific degree program requirements can be found in the Graduate Course Catalog.

Foundation MODULES

The MaineMBA is a STEM-designated degree with subject-area prerequisites in specific aspects of accounting (financial and managerial), economics (macro and micro), finance, and statistics. During the admissions process, the admissions team reviews applicantsโ€™ transcripts and work history to determine if they meet the program requirements. If it is determined that they still need prerequisites, the applicant will be assigned foundation courses to complete before they can register for classes.

The foundation courses are non-credit-bearing and self-paced and are designed as a faster and more cost-effective method of fulfilling the program prerequisites than full-semester, traditional undergraduate courses. However, admitted students can take traditional undergraduate courses to meet the requirements, should they choose. Each foundation course is designed to be completed in 15-20 hours at the userโ€™s pace.
