Admissions Requirements
The MBA Graduate Studies Committee has three alternative sets of conditions that allow applicants to be admitted without review by the MBA Admissions Committee. The MBA Graduate Advisor reviews all applications and determines if they qualify for admission under one of these three sets of criteria. Applicants who do not satisfy the conditions for admission are referred to the MBA Admissions Committee for consideration.
Admission to the MBA program is based upon an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the record of one’s undergraduate academic performance (typically the last 60 hours of the GPA is used as calculated by Graduate Admissions*). A GMAT or GRE score is not the sole criterion for determining admission to the MBA program. An applicant can also be admitted to the program on probation with a GPA of 3.0 and passing scores of 85 percent or greater on three business subject area exams taken through a College of Business approved vendor.
A graduate grade point average is used when it is 3.0 or above and is based on at least 24 semester hours.
An applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate a sufficient level of skill with the English language to assure success in graduate studies as defined in the TOEFL and IELTS Test Score Minimums section under Admissions Requirements and Procedures in the Graduate Catalog.
Unconditional Admission without Committee Review
Applicants qualify for unconditional admission without the need for review by the MBA Admissions Committee if they have a bachelor’s degree (with a GPA* of 3.0 or better) and take the GMAT scoring at least 500 with a 30th percentile or higher in the verbal and quantitative areas. The GRE is accepted but the GMAT is preferred.
Unconditional Admission without Committee Review (GMAT/GRE Waiver)
A waiver of the GMAT/GRE and unconditional admission will be considered for applicants who meet one of the following conditions:
- Have earned a 3.5 GPA (or higher) in two calculations (cumulative and last 60 hours) with an earned undergraduate degree from an AACSB (or EQUIS/AMBA) accredited school no more than seven academic years prior to the semester for which admission to the MBA is sought.
- An earned graduate degree or a graduate certificate (at least 9 credit hours) from a professionally and/or regionally accredited school with a 3.0 GPA (or higher) for all graduate coursework.
Probationary Admission
Applicants with a bachelor’s degree and a GPA* of 3.0 or better who choose not to take the GMAT can be admitted to the MBA program on probation after earning passing scores of 85 percent or greater on three exams in Business Statistics (BSTAT), Economics (ECON), and Management (MANA) taken through a College of Business approved vendor. Modules are available in these areas for exam preparation. Retaking exams is permissible however successful completion of exams is required prior to admission. Upon successful completion of all three exams, the applicant will be admitted on a probationary basis to the MBA program.
Applicants with a bachelor's degree and a GPA* less than 3.0 may be admitted to the MBA program on probation by taking the GMAT or GRE and meeting minimum score requirements (as stated above).
If GMAT/GRE minimum scores and at least 3.0 GPA* are not met, the MBA Admissions Committee will review for admission decision.
Applicants admitted on a probationary basis must complete the first two semesters of the MBA program with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better to gain unconditional admission.
Provisional Admission
An applicant unable to supply all required official documentation prior to the admission deadline but otherwise appears to meet admission requirements may be granted provisional admission. Complete and satisfactory credentials must be received by Graduate Admissions before the end of the semester in which the student has registered in a provisional status. Provisional admission does not guarantee subsequent admission on an unconditional basis.
