Quantitative Preparation

If you are admitted into the Smith MBA Program, you may be advised to take a calculus or statistics prerequisite course prior to the beginning of the academic school year. This quantitative preparation request is based on a combination of factors such as your quantitative GMAT scores, employment history, and undergraduate performance.

If you have been out of school for several years and wish to prepare for the MBA, you can begin with a thorough review of mathematics including pre-calculus, introductory statistics, and accounting.

The following table includes a sample of calculus classes in the Greater Baltimore-Washington DC Area that have previously been approved. Schools may require a placement test or prerequisite before you may enroll in a calculus course.
