Admission Requirements

For routine admission the applicant should meet the following criteria:


bulletAn American undergraduate regionally-accredited degree or its equivalent, in any area (business or non-business), with a 3.0 GPA or better in the last 60 hours of course work. Those without an undergraduate business degree  may be required to take 2 business graduate foundation courses. Contact the Program Coordinator for details.

bulletA score of 500 or higher on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Applicants may be required to retake the GMAT if the scores are more than five years old or lower than 500.  LSAT and  GRE scores may be considered in lieu of GMAT scores. A graduate degree, including a law degree, alone might serve as sufficient qualification for admission. Consult with the Program Coordinator for special circumstances If you have not yet taken the GMAT, GRE, or LSAT, you are encouraged to apply now, and we will help you prepare for and schedule the test. We will also help you request transcripts. Contact the Program Coordinator for details.
bulletA basic knowledge or email, web browsing, and Microsoft Office. A relatively current PC with Microsoft Office, speakers, microphone, and webcam. Those lacking the needed PC skills will be given a very brief self-study course to be taken before the first class.

If the applicant does not meet the criteria for routine admission, the committee may also consider other evidence of academic ability including, but not limited to the following:

bulletTrend of undergraduate work,
bulletLetters of recommendation,
bulletProfessional experience,
bulletType of undergraduate degree program,
bulletPerformance in required preparatory work, and
bulletPossibility of scores being influenced by language deficiencies or other cultural influences.
bulletSuccessful work in other graduate courses.

Upon completion of the review of such evidence, the committee may admit the applicant.

A graduate of a foreign college or university who has completed an academic program equivalent to an American bachelor's degree may apply for admission to the program. Foreign students are required to submit the application forms and an official certified transcript indicating the nature and scope of their academic training.
