Did you take any business courses on your own before starting the MIB? Like you, I didn't study business prior. Thanks!
Additional information
Hi Rayane! Like you, I didn't study business in my undergraduate degree. I studied French and English but have had a few years of professional business experience since graduating. Did you feel the need to take any business courses before starting this program to feel better prepared? Or do you the think program is accessible for students of all academic backgrounds? Thank you!

I personally didn’t! The courses are designed in a way to give you all the background knowledge you will need to successfully grasp the concepts. Even though I do not come from a business background, I did not feel that I was at a disadvantage in any of the topics.
Having said that, some of the courses have a quantitative aspect in which you will use some basic probability and statistics (nothing too complicated). Everything will be explained from scratch during the course, taking into account that a lot of students haven’t been exposed to these concepts in a long time. But if you feel like doing some prep, that’s the area I would suggest. Hope this helps :)
