Interested persons who are not currently enrolled in the graduate programs in business must complete an application and short course registration form (pdf) and will be classified as special status student. 

Each course is a freestanding entity. Special status students may take any number of courses. Each course in which the student earns a grade of B or higher will transfer into the Bluffton University graduate programs in business and will offset specific course requirements and total hours required in the program.

Students must have a bachelor's degree or be within six semester hours of graduation and must have four years of professional experience or currently hold a managerial/supervisory position.
