Students with extensive business experience are encouraged to address any missing coursework by completing online tutorial classes via the Peregrine website.
The process in this evaluation is as follows:
- Transcript review: The MBA office evaluates each student’s transcripts for CBK deficiencies.
- Notification: If deficiencies are found, students will be informed and directed to purchase the relevant online tutorial courses from Peregrine. Cost is $44 per subject area.
- Course completion: Students study the material and complete the follow-up test included in the online course.
- Verification: Upon passing the course, students notify the MBA Office. The office verifies the completion, and the CBK deficiency is cleared from the student’s record.
