As part of your acceptance to the Rohrer College of Business, you are entitled to a Plan of Study (POS). A POS provides a personalized semester-by-semester course schedule for when you first enter the program through when you graduate.  

Your POS includes all coursework: foundational, Core/Required, and Electives/Concentration(s). It also includes the approximate number of course credits you will take each semester from your first semester through graduation. The POS will be adapted throughout your time in the program to correspond to your preferences for Concentrations and Elective courses, as well as for when our course schedules are updated. Students find the POS useful for their academic planning, and it can be a valuable set of information for obtaining an F-1 student visa. 

To receive your POS, please email the Graduate Business Programs team at GraduateBusinessStudies@rowan.edu with your name, Rowan Banner ID number, and the semester you intend to begin your studies. Once you receive your POS, we encourage you to review it carefully to gain insight on your academic pathway. You should contact the Graduate Business Programs team to discuss your study plan before registering for classes. Courses are subject to availability. 

After reviewing your POS, if you believe you might be eligible for additional Foundation course waivers, please see the process for requesting an appeal/re-review in the Graduate Business Programs Foundation Fact Sheet. 

Admission into the MBA program does not guarantee you seats in courses or a schedule. 

Courses fill to capacity quickly, so you must work with the Office of Graduate Business Studies as early as possible to build a schedule of classes for your first semester. 

Send an email to GraduateBusinessStudies@rowan.edu to confirm you will be joining us for the semester to which you were accepted. An academic advisor will respond to your message and work with you on all action steps to build a schedule and register for your first semester of studies. 

Review the New Student Onboarding Guide to get started with your program.

  • additional policies/waivers. 

We encourage our students to go beyond the classroom to build relationships now that will serve you during your graduate studies—and throughout your career.
