About the Graduate Programs in Business

All applications are reviewed carefully, based on the following criteria:

  1. A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
  2. A preferred GPA of 3.0 in the last 60 semester hours of undergraduate work, including no lower than a C grade in all prerequisite courses. Applicants with lower GPA's may be required to submit GMAT scores. The GRE may be substituted for the GMAT.

  4. A current resume and personal statement of purpose.
