Admission for Professional Development
Applicants who have not taken the GMAT
before full admission into the program will be permitted to enroll in 12 hours (maximum of six (6) credit hours at 600 level). Provided the student meets the admission requirements at a later time, the courses completed with a minimum grade of “B” will be used to fulfill the student’s degree requirements. Individuals who plan to take courses for personal enrichment or to fulfill the M.B.A. requirements may be admitted under the “Professional Development” status. However, this does not constitute admission to the M.B.A. program.

Prospective MBA students may be considered for admission as either Degree Seeking or Professional Development.   For Degree Seeking status, an applicant must at least meet the following requirement:    

 (200 X undergraduate GPA) + GMAT  ≥ 950  and  GMAT ≥ 375

 Applicants who do not meet the above requirement, but have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.5 (or 450 minimum GMAT score) are admitted under the Professional Development status which allows them to enroll in up to 12 credit hours of courses work (maximum 6 credit hours at 600 level).  These credit hours may be applied toward the student’s curriculum once he/she meets the aforementioned admission formula or:

[200 X (MBA course work GPA)] + GMAT ≥ 1050  and  GMAT ≥ 375
