Recommended Preliminary Courses and Minimum Required Credits
Maximizing your Learning
MBA courses at GLOBIS University are grouped into three categories: Fundamental, Applied, andSpecialized. Some courses are designed on the assumption that students possess a certain level ofknowledge and practical experience, in order to maximize their learning during class time. Please refer tothe list below to confirm in advance that you have the required number of credits and have also taken
the recommended courses or have practical knowledge and experience. In addition, the “basics of logicalthinking necessary in business”, covered in the Critical Thinking course, can be very useful in enhancing
the learning results in other courses.

List of Recommended Preliminary Courses and Minimum Required Credits
Within the category of Fundamental Courses, if you lack basic knowledge or do not have prior practicalexperience, we recommend you begin by taking courses with “Essentials” in the course title.
Even though the Recommended Preliminary Courses are considered as recommended and not required,students who feel they are lacking specialized knowledge in that particular field, such as accounting andfinance, should take Fundamental Courses in advance.
To determine whether you have the necessary basic knowledge for the course, please refer to theCourse Overview page available on the GLOBIS website or the course syllabus available on the VirtualCampus.
*What are the minimum required credits?
It is the number of credits necessary for the courses that require certain level of knowledge andexperience. When the number of required credits for the course (only for the acquired credits) is notreached, a student cannot register for a course. Please check the list below for the number of required
credits for each course well in advance of your course registration.
