MBA 6020 - Professional Experience

WMU recognizes the value of significant adult experiential learning outside of the formal classroom and this course offers the opportunity for students to obtain academic credit for that knowledge. The requirement to obtain credit for this course is based on “competencies” rather than on course “equivalents” and allows students to have their knowledge recognized, regardless of whether WMU offers specific courses pertaining to the experience that they have acquired. For experience to be considered for credit, students must fill out an application which includes a portfolio that describes and documents the knowledge and experiences that has been learned and tie these to relevant competencies that they have acquired. Students need to explain in detail how these experiences have manifested themselves in their current knowledge base. Students must submit an application and be approved to take this course.

Note: Open to graduate students only. Graded on a credit/no credit basis.

Credits: 3 hours

Restrictions: Enrollment in HCOB graduate business courses requires admission to the MBA or MSA program or the approval of the Director of Graduate Business Programs.
