Q&A

Do the Kepha MBA preparatory courses carry academic credit? Are transcripts issued?

This program does not offer academic credits, but a transcript is available. Students who score 75 or higher on all three exams will receive a transcript for non-credit MBA preparatory courses; these results may serve as a reference for future applications to our university’s MBA degree program.

Completing the preparatory course does not guarantee direct admission to the MBA program, nor can credits be transferred to the formal MBA degree curriculum; however, it provides preparatory training for applicants and grants priority consideration under equal conditions. Admission to the master’s degree program is subject to specific program requirements; please refer to the MBA program admissions brochure for details.
