Admission to the graduate programs in the College of Business depends on:
A grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher on at least the last 60 semester credit hours you have attempted at the college level and a minimum score of 450 Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or an admissions index of at least 1400.
Your admissions index is calculated by combining your GPA on at least your last 60 semester credit hours of college work with your GMAT test score. To obtain your admissions index, use the following formula: (GPA x 200) + (GMAT x 2).
If you do not meet 1) the minimum GPA and test score or 2) the 1400 admissions index, you do not meet the minimum admission requirements. If you have an index of 1300 or higher, the Dean’s Office in the College of Business may recommend that you be admitted on a conditional basis subject to your minimum scholastic performance during your first semester of enrollment as a conditionally admitted graduate student.
A student transferring from another graduate school must have at least a 3.0 (A=4.0) grade point average on all graduate work attempted.
International students must also submit a valid, official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam score sufficient for meeting admission requirements, unless they qualify for an exception as outlined in the Admissions section of this catalog. International students must also meet all other requirements for international admission as outlined in this catalog.
