Regular and Conditional Admission Using our admissions formula [(GPA x 200) + GMAT or GRE)], an applicant must have either a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or a minimum score of 450 on the GMAT and a total score of 1050 or above for regular admission. Using the GRE, an applicant must have either a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or a minimum score between 910 - 1050 on the GRE and a total score of 1510 or above for regular admission.
Applicants with a total score below 1050 using the GMAT or below 1510 using the GRE can be considered for conditional admission. An applicant who is granted conditional admission may register for a maximum of twelve (12) semester credit hours. To continue in the MBA program after these credit hours have been completed, a conditionally admitted student must achieve regular admission by having a 3.25 or higher cumulative GPA on these first twelve (12) credit hours.
No applicant with a GPA below 2.5, a GMAT score below 350, or a GRE score below 750 will be admitted into the MBA program.
Applicants with a GMAT or GRE score which is older than ten years may be required to retake the exam to be considered for admission into the program. This decision will be made by the Director of the Graduate Studies in Business program.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
The test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is offered in three formats. A score of at least 500 on the paper-based exam, or a score of at least 173 on the computer-based exam, or a score of at least 61 on the Internet-based exam is required of all students for whom English is a second language.
Special Admission
Special admission into the MBA program may be available for undergraduate senior students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 who are within nine (9) semester credit hours of meeting the requirements for a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. Applicants must submit undergraduate transcripts from all institutions attended. The student is not considered a graduate student and may take no more than nine (9) MBA credit hours. MBA courses taken can not be used to meet undergraduate requirements.
Readmission Policy
A former MBA student who plans to re-enroll must submit a new application for readmission. After any period of academic or disciplinary suspension, one must apply to the Director of the Graduate Studies in Business program for readmission. In addition to the application, the student should submit a letter stating what plans are being made to ensure academic success. Readmission is not guaranteed or automatic.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
A college graduate not planning to enroll in an MBA degree program may register as a non-degree seeking MBA student. An applicant must submit an application for admission and application fee, have an accredited bachelor's degree, and submit transcripts from all colleges attended.
A non-degree seeking student may enroll for any MBA course which he/she has the necessary prerequisite course work, with the approval of the MBA Director. Certain courses may not be available and the MBA Director may restrict enrollment or give preference to degree-seeking students'.
Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for federal financial aid.
Registration Deadline
Starting January 2009, a registration deadline was enacted for all MBA classes. In each term, students must register for classes a minimum of one week prior to the scheduled start date of classes. This will ensure time for students to obtain required books and materials and for the course instructor to adjust the course's learning activities to the size of the class.
