Graduate Admission Standards

The Admissions Committee may admit the applicant into the program in one of two statuses:

The Admissions Committee may grant Full Admission to those applicants who have completed their application, have a solid managerial work experience and have presented persuasive responses to their application essay questions as well as having met the minimum credential requirements as proscribed by AACSB guidelines. These credentials include a minimum GMAT score of 450 and an undergraduate GPA of 2.75 from this or another AACSB accredited school.

The Admissions Committee may occasionally grant Probationary Admission to those applicants who have completed their application, have a record of solid managerial work experience, have strong letters of recommendation, met the minimum GMAT score, and have presented persuasive responses to their application essay questions, but whose GPA does not quite meet the minimum standards. Other considerations given these applicants are a unique work experience background, post-graduate work, and last two years of undergraduate work as well as their GMAT scores. These are persons who the Admission Committee feels may have high promise in spite of not conforming to the minimum GPA standards.

The Admissions Committee will inform those candidates entering the program on probation that they cannot continue in the program if their GPA drops below 2.75 for course work taken in the graduate program. Fully admitted candidates will have six hours of graduate work to bring their GPA up to 2.75 should it ever fall below. Graduate business students must have a 2.75 to qualify for graduation.
