Program Highlights
Requirements
This dual degree requires 8 core classes in the MaineMBA and 5 required courses from the UMaine School of Global Policy, as well as electives that may count towards both degrees, for a total of 51 credits. The business classes will be completed online, while the global policy classes will be in person. A grade of B- or better is required in all classes.
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 applicants’ 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 user’s pace.
