College of Business Administration Ravi Krovi, Ph.D., Dean James J. Divoky, D.B.A., Associate Dean William Hauser, Ph.D., Interim Assistant Dean and Director of Graduate Programs MASTER’S DEGREES The College of Business Administration (CBA) offers graduate programs which lead to the degrees of Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Accountancy, Master of Taxation, and Master of Science in Management. The University has offered programs of study in business since 1919, initially through the Department of Commerce and since 1953 through the College of Business Administration. Programs in graduate studies were begun in 1958. All CBA undergraduate and graduate programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The CBA seeks to fulfill the educational and professional needs of its 500 graduate students, business organizations, and the community. Most of the graduate programs offered are flexible evening programs designed to serve students who are fully employed professionals and wish to pursue a master’s program on a part-time basis. Students often choose to enroll full-time to complete a master’s program more quickly. Admission Policy The applicant must meet one (1) of the following eligibility requirements which are in conformity with the Graduate School and the college’s accrediting agency (AACSB). • Hold a domestic baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and have a total index score of 1,050 or more based upon the overall undergraduate grade point average (GPA)(A=4.0) times 200 plus the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score. • Hold a domestic baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and have a total index score of 1,100 or more based on the junior-senior (i.e., last 64 semester or 96 quarter credits) GPA (A=4.0) times 200 plus the GMAT score. • Hold a degree from outside the United States and have an academic standing of first or high second class, satisfactory evidence of competence in English (i.e., TOEFL score of 550 or above) and a score of at least 500 on the GMAT. • Students who have taken the GRE, MCAT, or LSAT may request consideration for admission based upon those entrance exam scores. To be considered the applicant should score at or above the 50 th percentile on each section of the exam. Applicants holding either a master’s, doctoral, or juris doctor degree from an American university may request consideration for admission based on the graduate degree. The individual’s total application will be reviewed, and the graduate admissions committee reserves the right to right to require the GMAT for admission of the applicant. An admission interview will be required of students wishing to be admitted to the MBA program coming directly from an undergraduate program with no professional work experience. Students admitted on a provisional basis must achieve a composite index of 1,150 based on foundation course GPA times 200 plus GMAT score. Even though an applicant is eligible for consideration, an offer of admission is not guaranteed. Since staff, facilities, and resources are limited, a determination will be made as to the number of applicants that can be adequately served among those eligible for admission. As a result, offers of admission may be limited to only the most qualified of eligible applicants as determined by the CBA Graduate Admissions Committee. The committee considers the following factors: difficulty of the applicant’s undergraduate program; length of time and activities since graduation; and the percentile ranking on the GMAT. In rare instances, the applicant who has taken the GMAT but does not meet requirements may be considered for admission. Also, those applicants previously denied admission may, upon presentation of new information, be reconsidered. In either case, the applicant must petition the CBA Graduate Admissions Committee in writing and provide those reasons relevant to the situation which demonstrate the likelihood of success. In all cases, the burden of proof is on the applicant. Under the regulations of the Graduate School, eligible applicants who have been extended an offer of admission by the CBA Graduate Admissions Committee are recommended to the dean of the Graduate School for either “full” or “provisional” graduate status. Students admitted with “provisional” status who have not attained an overall 3.0 GPA upon completion of 12 graduate credits will be dismissed from the program. Students admitted as non-degree seeking are restricted to enrolling in a maximum of nine credits of Gateway courses only.
