Admissions

The MBA Director reviews all applications for matriculation. Each applicant's intellectual abilities, needs, leadership qualities and ability to complete the program are taken into account in the matriculation decision. Among other things, applicants will be assessed according to the following criteria:

• All applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. Transcripts should demonstrate the attainment of an overall grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Those who do not meet this requirement may be admitted on a non-matriculated basis for up to 2 courses.
• Applicants must attain a satisfactory score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). Typically the applicant is expected to achieve a minimum of 450 on the GMAT (the test is normed at 500 for the 50th percentile).

  The AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, suggest the following guidelines for assessing applicants:

  1,050 total points in the formula = 200 times undergraduate GPA plus GMAT score.

  The formula is only part of a total assessment of the applicant's abilities. The MBA Office has information on review courses and other ways of helping applicants through the GMAT process.
  
  

• Two letters of recommendation from colleagues, supervisors, or others who can freely comment on your ability to succeed in graduate management education.
  
  

• A resume of relevant work experience, education, and other achievements and evidence of professional and managerial growth and potential.

• International applicants must also submit their test results from TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). A score of at least 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) is required for admittance.
