Graduate Admissions
How Do I Apply?
All graduate applicants must:
- Complete the Application for Admission and return with the appropriate application fee.
- Submit official transcripts of all prior college work demonstrating sufficient scholastic performance that qualifies the applicant to perform successfully in a master’s or doctoral program. (For doctoral admission, more emphasis is placed on an applicant’s graduate record than on the applicant’s undergraduate record. Please click here for specific requirements related to the doctoral program.)
- Submit a satisfactory current score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) from within the last five years and meet established GPA requirements:
- GPA greater than or equal to 2.75
- GMAT greater than or equal to 450
- Composite Index (GPA x 200 + GMAT) greater than or equal to 1,100
Applicants must meet the admission requirements of both the Graduate School of the University and those of the Graduate Division of the College of Business. Any applicant who holds a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, from an accredited college or university, will be considered for admission regardless of the undergraduate field of study.
Students at all levels must complete basic courses in the “common body of knowledge” or business core. Foundation courses may be waived for students who have completed equivalent courses prior to admission to the MAcc or MBA programs. Admission will be granted only to those individuals who demonstrate significant accomplishment and high potential for success.
