Admission Criteria
Applicants to the official degree-seeking Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program must meet the following admission criteria:
- A four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. Your bachelor’s degree does not have to be in business.
- A good academic foundation for graduate study as reflected in the applicant’s cumulative undergraduate* grade point average (GPA) on a four-point scale. Applicants who have successfully completed an American graduate degree (or equivalent international graduate degree as determined by international admissions), will be reviewed based on cumulative graduate GPA.
- 3.0 to 4.0 GPA: No GMAT score is required for admission.
- 2.70 to 2.99 GPA: GMAT is not required, but you will be conditionally admitted. You must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher after completing nine credit hours of M.B.A. coursework to be fully admitted. If they do not meet this goal, they will be denied admission. Credits earned while on conditional status will apply toward the degree requirements once fully admitted into the program.
- 2.50-2.69 GPA: Applicants may petition for admission. You are required to submit a minimum GMAT score of 400 or a minimum GRE score can be substituted for the GMAT score.
