Complete prerequisite course in Calculus, Statistics, and Computer Application Software if you are going to the FEMBA program in Irvine. The general MBA on the Fullerton campus has no prerequisites. The computer application course is very easy. The statistics course is also easy, since the equivalent CSUF course only requires algebra and is about descriptive statistics. The hardest is the calculus, which usually requires three years of high school math including algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus. If you skipped math during your undergraduate career, it's time to start early and take math classes, because it may take you years to get to the calculus class.
If the Cal State Fullerton FEMBA calculus requirement seems to be too much, investigate the CSUF main campus MBA or other MBA programs in southern California, where there are some that do not require calculus for admissions.
