• a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a 2.5 overall undergraduate Grade Point Average; and

• a minimum Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score of 500*; and

• An index of 1000* computed by multiplying the undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA) by 200 and adding the GMAT score; and

• completion of all foundation coursework through undergraduate preparation with a grade of B or better in each undergraduate course or an overall 3.0 GPA in the Business Foundation program; and

• demonstrated computer literacy

For those applicants who elect to use only upper-level (latter half) undergraduate coursework to calculate the index, the index requirement shall be 1050 or greater. For those who already possess a master’s degree and elect to use graduate coursework to calculate the index, the index requirement is 1100.

Applicants meeting all of the above criteria will be fully admitted into the M.B.A. program. This allows them to move immediately into the 36-hour M.B.A. curriculum.

Provisional M.B.A. Admission:

Applicants who have completed all of the Business Foundation courses with GPA’s of 3.00 or better and have GMAT scores between 450 and 500 may enroll in the 36-hour M.B.A. curriculum as a provisional students with the permission of the M.B.A. director, if the index is at least 1050.
