For regular admission to the MBA program, the student must:
Hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution
Meet program prerequisites
Have an undergraduate GPA of 2.50 or greater on a 4.00 scale
Submit completed application including a writing sample and your resume.
Provide 3 letters of recommendation (academic and/or professional)
Send official academic transcripts
An applicant unable to supply all of the required application materials prior to consideration for admission, but who otherwise meets the admission requirements, may be granted provisional admission. Complete and satisfactory credentials must be received by the MBA Program Coordinator before the end of the semester in which the student has registered in provisional status. A student will not be permitted to enroll with a provisional status for more than one semester. Provisional admission does not guarantee, in any way, subsequent unconditional admission.
An applicant who does not meet regular admission requirements may be granted probationary admission, if the overall undergraduate GPA is between 2.3 and 2.49 (the GPA cannot be rounded up) and the applicant submits documented evidence of potential for success in graduate study. Documented evidence may include demonstrated successful work record, career plans with clear pathway for success, letters of recommendation, or other appropriate documentation. Students admitted on a probationary basis may change their status to regular status by meeting the regular admission requirements or by successfully completing 9 hours of graduate study with a minimum of “B” grade in each course.
An individual desiring to take graduate MBA courses, but who does not plan to pursue the graduate degree, may be admitted as a non-degree seeking student. The applicant must hold a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and must have a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of 2.5. The maximum number of hours that a non-degree student, without undergraduate background in business, can apply toward the MBA degree is 12 graduate hours of foundation courses and 6 graduate hours of core or elective courses.
Admission as a non-degree-seeking student does not guarantee full admission to the regular MBA program. Non-degree seeking students, who decide to pursue an MBA degree, must apply through the regular admission process, and meet regular admission requirements.
