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 non-business
programs are also encouraged to apply. An applicant is assigned an
advisor soon after acceptance into the MBA program, and should
meet with the advisor 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.
