A student who is seeking admission with a baccalaureate degree obtained from a non-business discipline is required to undergo the MQP by taking the following seven courses. In case student has already taken any of the MQP courses, may be exempted from such courses provided an official transcript for evaluation at the time of admission is submitted by them. However, the decision for the exemption will be made jointly by the Program Coordinator and DOA upon carefully reviewing the course contents as per SUC TOC policy.

The following are the courses that are chosen to establish the required knowledge for a student to cope up with the MBA program curriculum as these courses provide the basics for a non business student:

COURSE CODE	NAME
MQPACC01	Accounting Principles & Practice
MQPECO02	Economics Principles & Practice
MQPMAT03	Business Statistics
MQPFIN04	Principles of Finance
MQPMGM05	Perspective on Management
MQPMKT06	Principles of Marketing
MQPMAT07	Quantitative Methods

All these courses are equivalent to 3 credit hours at baccalaureate level. These credits cannot be used for replacing any of the Graduate level courses as these will be treated non credit bearing courses only for the purpose of MQP and no transcript shall be issued. Most of these courses are offered at the Skyline University College baccalaureate program enabling the aspirants to pick up any of these courses during the regular semesters of the baccalaureate program. If the courses are currently not offered at the baccalaureate program, they will be exclusively planned and scheduled for the purposes of MQP provided there are a minimum number of students who have opted to take a course in a given semester and if it is found operationally viable.

With regard to the planning and scheduling of the MQP, typically a student with a non-business degree background will take minimum of one or maximum of two semesters to complete the program. However, hypothetically, a student who has studied in engineering discipline might have completed a course in quantitative methods and/or statistics and/or management. In this scenario, student may be exempted from the requirements of those courses at the MQP level; hence, a student of this scenario may be able to complete the MQP in one semester.
