Can I waive some of the core requirements?<br />
No, the core of the <strong>MBA</strong> is the required curriculum for all<br />
WSU <strong>MBA</strong> degrees, and we must offer and require these<br />
for our accreditation.<br />
I took some courses in another <strong>MBA</strong> program. Can I count<br />
these toward my WSU <strong>MBA</strong> degree?<br />
You can request that two elective courses be transferred<br />
from another AACSB accredited institution, but the College<br />
of Business will need to review course transcripts and<br />
will make the final determination if the elective(s) can be<br />
counted toward your WSU <strong>MBA</strong>.<br />
Does WSU require the GMAT? Can I take the GRE?<br />
Since the GMAT is specifically designed for graduate<br />
business education, WSU requires the GMAT. If you have a<br />
current GRE score, we can evaluate the score for possible<br />
replacement of the GMAT. The code for sending your<br />
GMAT to <strong>Washington</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> is 09D-TL-25.<br />
How long is the GMAT score valid?<br />
Five years.<br />
Will my diploma state that this is an “online” degree?<br />
No, you will receive a diploma for the Master in Business<br />
Administration degree; the same degree received by<br />
students in our on-campus programs.<br />
What is the TOEFL requirement?<br />
580 paper-based score, 237 computer-based score,<br />
or 92-93 Internet-based test score (IBTS). WSU also accepts<br />
the Pearson Test of English for graduate students.<br />
• The Pearson Code is: 8Z2-GT-38<br />
Score Requirement: 62<br />
Do you accept IALC or IELTS in lieu of the TOEFL?<br />
Yes, you must pass level 6 at IALC or 7.5 of IELTS.<br />
I have heard that getting a master’s degree from the same<br />
institution as my bachelor’s is undesirable. Is that true?<br />
<strong>MBA</strong> programs are much different from specialized<br />
master’s degrees in that they are comprised of courses<br />
from a number of discipline areas in business. It is not<br />
likely that you will experience a lack of diversity of thought<br />
if you choose to earn your <strong>MBA</strong> from WSU if you were a<br />
WSU undergraduate.<br />
How do I start the application process?<br />
An enrollment advisor will be happy to walk you through<br />
the process and clarify any questions you may have.<br />
