Admissions Information

The following is required for admission to the School of Business:

• Bachelor's degree with a minimum B average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or equivalent from an accredited college or university
• Relevant professional experience
• Submission of official results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) taken within the last two years is required for applicants who do not hold their entire degree from an accredited U.S. university or college.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required, but candidates who have not previously demonstrated strong academic performance are encouraged to submit GRE or GMAT scores as evidence of their capability to perform at the graduate level. Although students are strongly encouraged to apply for and be offered admission before beginning course work, non-degree students may register for MGT 201, ISTM 271, or ISTM 290. However, only six credits (two courses), with a B or better in each course, may be applied to the program upon admission. Preference in admission is given to those applicants with strong academic credentials and appropriate undergraduate preparation.
