Quantitative Prep

The Online MBA Program moves at an accelerated pace which makes it important to refresh your quantitative skills prior to starting the program.  To ensure you have a strong start in the quantitative courses in our MBA program, we will be sharing information about the GMAC Business Fundamentals online course (Statistics, Finance, and Accounting).  As a benefit to you, we will cover the cost of taking these courses, provided you complete the modules.  Expect a link to get you started by April 1st and we ask that you complete it prior to the MBA program start May 27th. For an overview of the program and each course, please visit here.   If you wish to decline this helpful tool, please send an email to us at OMBA@vt.edu. 

Testimonial from a Current OMBA Student- "I found the GMAC Business Fundamentals course to be a welcoming and informative first step of my MBA journey. I used the GMAC package as a way to get attuned to the time requirement and to prepare for some of the coursework that I was unfamiliar with. Each week, I set out a schedule that was similar to the time requirement for the formal MBA program. Once my actual courses began, I was already comfortable with a schedule. Additionally, I have been thankful that I had a chance to cover some of the material prior to the formal courses to lighten the learning load during the semester. It was relieving to be able to simply review material and move on to applying concepts instead of learning everything for the first time during class. Ultimately, the GMAC Business Fundamentals courses paved the road for a smooth transition from professional to student and provided relevant material that gave me an advantage in the classroom."
