MBA Math
In our continued commitment to student preparation and success, Virginia Tech has introduced the MBA Math program as part of the requirements for incoming admitted students prior to their arrival in August. MBA Math was created by Peter Regan, a faculty member from the Tuck MBA Program (Dartmouth), who was in charge of teaching the students a one week “crash course” or “boot camp” in MBA-related quantitative skills during orientation. After many successful completions of the course, Regan decided to create MBA Math and take the program worldwide. Now the same 40-hour course Regan taught during orientation week is available to you to take at your convenience from your home, office, or wherever you choose. The course covers 24 modular topics, each with its own quizzes and learning materials. The following format is as follows for each module:
- Pre-Quiz: Students start with a pre-quiz on a particular topic to establish their starting point.
- Study: Guided by their pre-quiz score, students then work through the teaching material and exercises until they understand how to solve problems accurately.
- Post-Quiz: Students take a post-quiz when they are ready. If a student is not satisfied with the post-quiz score, they can continue studying and then take another post-quiz.

All newly admitted students are required to have MBA Math completed within one week before Orientation for the fall academic term. Each student is required to achieve an average score of 80 on the post-quizzes across all modules of MBA math, as well as a minimum score of 70 on each individual post-quiz.
