Test Out Option for Foundations Requirements
I am pleased to announce that we now have a new option available to students
Provisionally Admitted to the MBA Program to complete the required
Foundations. You may now complete any required Foundation by self study and
obtaining an acceptable grade on a test provided in that subject area.
This option is now available for all six of the subject areas currently covered by
Foundations courses and/or the Undergraduate Common Body of Knowledge. This
provides a third option for completing these requirements. The Test Out option is
currently available with no fee or cost associated (text books may be recommended
but not required). There will be no instructor available to assist students. It is
completely self-study! No credit is given for this option and it will not appear in a
transcript.
To have access to the self-study materials and take a test, you must be a registered
student at UNC Pembroke. You will be granted access to a Blackboard site (one site
for each subject area) with self-study materials designed to prepare you for the test
(on that subject). You may study at your own pace and take each test whenever you
are ready. The tests will be proctored by the MBA Program Coordinator (on
campus) or by the UNC Proctor Network. Simply notify the MBA Program
Coordinator when you are ready to take the test.
You may take each subject area test up to three times. If you fail to receive an
acceptable score after the third attempt, you will no longer have the option of taking
the test for that subject area. You may prepare for as many subject areas as you
desire, simultaneously or individually. Each has its own Blackboard site. The six
subject areas are Accounting, Analytical Methods, Business Statistics, Economics,
Finance, and Management.
If you are interested in exploring this option to complete your required
Foundations, please contact the MBA Program Coordinator, Cecelia Locklear, in the
MBA Office – 910.775.4099.
