the following schedule:
Fall Semester Deadline:
August 15

Successful admissions candidates will generally have met the following selection criteria:
-
An undergraduate GPA of at least 2.7
The Graduate Admissions Committee reviews the undergraduate record, noting the total GPA, the area of concentration, and the trend of grades. A 2.7 GPA is recommended, although all applications will be reviewed. Students under 2.7 will require convincing evidence of intellectual ability, communications skills, and initiative. -
Two letters of recommendation
The committee reviews letters of recommendation as they contribute to an understanding of the applicant's academic ability, leadership skills, and aptitude for graduate study. All applicants are required to have two letters submitted for review. -
Satisfactory GRE or GMAT scores
A good balance of scores in verbal and quantitative areas is needed. No minimum total GMAT is required, but the average entering student is above the 50th percentile. Students may be accepted provisionally pending receipt of exam scores. -
Demonstrable computer skills
Applicants must have a basic understanding of computers, including business application software, such as electronic spreadsheets, database management systems, and word processing applications. Appropriate undergraduate course work or work experience will be considered. -
Appropriate work experience
Job responsibilities of both a full-time or part-time nature are reviewed with regard to the applicant's leadership skills, promotability within the organization, aptitude for a management career, and general knowledge of the business environment. Applicants without significant work experience will also be considered.
