Graduate Student Resources
Business Refresher Courses
The College of Business offers free online “refresher courses” in the areas of accounting, economics, finance, business ethics, communication, and quantitative skills. The courses are self-paced, ungraded, and are available solely for academic support. These modules can be particularly useful for students who have waived out of a foundation course but find that a “refresher” may be needed before attempting an MBA core course in that area. To request to be registered for one or more of the refresher courses, please send an email from your EMU e-mail account with your name, student number, and desired course(s). You will be registered and then sent a confirmation email with instructions on how to log in and access the course(s).
Video Tutorial - Financial Statement Projection
Students in MBA core course FIN 620 Financial Administration Policies are strongly encouraged to view and refer to this video as needed throughout the semester. It is a detailed (1 hour and 20 minutes) example of financial statement projection.
Video Tutorial - Accounting Principles
Any student who needs a review of introduction to financial statements and accounting terminology could benefit from watching this approximately 30-minute video.
Academic Resources for All Students

The University Writing Center offers one-on-one support to all EMU students (graduate and undergraduate) to improve writing skills. Consultants are available to help students at any stage of the writing process. UWC also offers free workshops on various topics related to writing. College of Business students may visit the Center’s satellite location in COB Room 100 during designated hours.

Kate Pittsley, and Bill Marino, Business Librarians, have created several research guides for students. You may also find it useful to see the links to, and descriptions of, what information is found in specific databases.
The Academic Programs Abroad office offers a variety of study abroad programs including cultural history programs, travel and study programs, direct exchanges, intensive language and programs offered over winter break and during summer. Most programs are open to students from any college or university and EMU students can apply financial aid awards toward the programs.
