• Students must have completed and earned a B or better in either Business Research Methods (Newark) or Statistical Methods in Business (NB).

Note that satisfying the above minimum qualifications does not guarantee admission to the program. The program may impose a capacity limit, since there is a limit for the number of undergraduate students allowed in each graduate course.

Eligible Courses

Students in the Gateway MAccy AA program may be allowed to substitute up to 9 undergraduate business credits with 9 MAccy AA graduate credits, in selected MAccy AA courses in their junior or senior year.
