The Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is a graduate
professional program that emphasizes breadth of preparation
in the various competencies required of business executives. The
MBA program is ideally suited not only for individuals with undergraduate
degrees in business, but also for individuals with undergraduate
degrees in other fields who have career goals that demand
the competitive edge of quality graduate education in managerial
decision-making.
Admission Requirements
The applicant to the master of business administration program
must have a bachelor’s degree; however, the degree need not be
in business administration. Applicants who are graduates of nonbusiness
programs are also encouraged to apply. An applicant is
assigned an adviser soon after acceptance into the MBA program,
and should meet with the adviser to prepare a program plan outlining
the courses needed for the MBA degree.
The admissions decision is based on a review of the application
documentation including work experience, academic performance,
references and written statement of purpose. Although taking the
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is not a requirement,
it is highly recommended for admission consideration.
Individuals who take the GMAT and obtain a satisfactory score can
compensate for other criteria in their application (such as academic
performance or work experience). Preference for graduate scholarships
will be given to applicants who take the GMAT.*
General admission requirements, student classifications and the
process for applying are presented in the Academic Overview
section. Additional requirements regarding admission and MBA
requirements may be obtained from the associate dean of academics
in the Nathan M. Bisk College of Business.
*The GRE may be substituted.
Degree Requirements
The MBA degree is conferred on a student who has successfully
completed 36 credit hours of required and elective courses as listed
on the student’s approved Graduate Program Plan.
