What foundational background is required to apply for the MAIR?
The typical student in the MAIR program has at least one year of corporate level business experience. It is also strongly suggested that students have taken foundation courses in economics, financial accounting, math, and probability and statistics prior to starting the MAIR Program. Students with undergraduate degrees in Economics, Business, Finance or Accounting usually have enough courses as part of their major to satisfy the Foundation requirements. Students outside of these majors generally do not have the necessary Foundation courses, often in Economics and Financial Accounting. Such a student may be admitted conditionally to the MAIR Program but will be required to complete the missing Foundation courses before beginning the MAIR program at USF.
