Fordham GBA/FCLS Agreement
Fordham Graduate School of Business Administration (GBA) and
Fordham College of Liberal Studies have a special relationship. Within this
special relationship, Fordham GBA and Fordham College of Liberal Studies
have carefully examined their two curricula to assist Fordham College of
Liberal Studies students planning to continue their education at Fordham
GBA to reduce the length of their M.B.A. degree program.
The M.B.A. degree program at Fordham GBA consists of 20 courses
(60 credits). GBA’s residence requirement stipulates that all students must
take a minimum of 15 courses (45 credits) at Fordham to obtain their degree.
Accordingly, FCLS graduates accepted to Fordham GBA have the
opportunity to reduce their program by up to 5 courses (15 credits) through
course waivers.
In addition, there are 3 prerequisite courses (9 credits) that must be
satisfied. FCLS graduates accepted to Fordham GBA may waive all three.
There are two ways to waive GBA courses: complete equivalent
coursework at an accredited college or university with a grade of B or better
within the six years prior to admission to Fordham GBA, or sit for a waiver
examination during the first trimester of M.B.A. studies. GBA courses
eligible for waiver and the corresponding Fordham College of Liberal
Studies courses that meet GBA’s definition of “equivalent coursework” are
listed on the other side of this page.
Further information and guidance is available from the Fordham
College of Liberal Studies Dean’s office and the FCLS offices of Fordham
GBA. Both programs are housed at Fordham's new campus at 400 Westchester Avenue, West Harrison, NY.
