Business Administration

Admission to the Master of Business Administration degree program is selective and depends on several elements, including scholarship and an ability to communicate effectively. In making admission recommendations, the admission committee assesses the potential of applicants for success in the MBA program by examining their undergraduate records, their GMAT or GRE scores, their responses to questions on the supplemental application, their work experience, and their recommendation forms.

Students admitted to the Master of Business Administration program must demonstrate proficiency or complete coursework in the following areas:

• A college course in principles of microeconomics and a college course in principles of macroeconomics. Students without any college course in economics or with only one principles-level economics course may take ECN 501 (Introduction to Economics) to meet the requirement.
• A college course in financial accounting
• A recent college algebra course or mathematics at a higher level
• A college course in calculus or a continuing education course in quantitative methods which included basic calculus

These requirements must be completed prior to beginning MBA coursework.
