MBA Program Admission
Process
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet both the Admission
Requirements for Master’s Degrees and the
College of Business and Public Policy
requirements outlined below.
Admission to the MBA program is restricted
to students holding a baccalaureate degree
from an AACSB or regionally accredited
university, or foreign equivalent. In
addition, it is highly desirable for
prospective MBA students to have three years
of full-time work experience. The majority
of students meeting these conditions will be
admitted, up to the limits of program
capacity, based on their potential for
success in graduate business studies. In
general, two formulas using undergraduate
performance as measured by the grade point
average (GPA) on a 4.00 scale and the score
on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
will be used to assess an applicant’s
potential for success in the MBA program:
1. Undergraduate GPA x 200 + GMAT > 1050 or
2. Upper-division GPA x 200 + GMAT > 1100
These formulas are minimums, and may not
guarantee admission in cases where either
the GPA or the GMAT scores are unusually
low.
GMAT waivers- may be considered for
applicants meeting any of the following
criteria:
1. Hold another Master’s degree from an
accredited university.
2. Have a professional designation beyond
the Baccalaureate (such as CPA, CFA).
3. Have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or
higher.
Additional indicators for predicting success
in individual cases may be provided through
documented performance in extracurricular
activities, evidence of creativity and
leadership, and a record of accomplishment
in business or other professional activity.
Applicants whose native language is not
English are required to score at least 550
on the TOEFL exam or otherwise demonstrate
competency in English. Students may apply to
enter the program at the beginning of either
the fall or spring semester. There currently
is no specific application deadline, but
students should apply before the start of
their first semester. In some cases students
may be admitted conditionally while their
paperwork is completed. Students in
conditional admission status are restricted
in the number of courses that they can take
before being fully admitted.
