Required for all incoming students, the online MBA Math course consists of 22 lessons covering the quant skill basics of finance, accounting, economics, statistics, and spreadsheets can be accessed with the account information below.
Professor Peter Regan created the online course based on years of teaching Tuck’s five-day Pre-Enrollment Program (PEP). Accordingly, the online and five-day courses overlap considerably. The chart below summarizes the eight required lessons that you should complete by July 25. If you have more time to dedicate to this resource, we encourage you to do as many lessons as you can beyond the eight we require. Students participating in PEP must complete additional prerequisite lessons.
