Admission to the MBA Program
1. General admission to graduate study.
2. Admission is determined by an admission index. The index is computed as follows: INDEX =(undergraduate g.p.a. *200)+ GMAT score. The index must equal at least 1000. A minimum GMAT score of 400 is required. Applicants must submit a GMAT score before being admitted into the MBA program. Our GMAT code is GWC-HZ-36
If a student has earned a master's degree from a regionally accredited institution the GMAT is not required. The GRE may be accepted in lieu of the GMAT. The decision on whether to accept the GRE will be made on a case-by-case basis.
3. A minimum of a 2.5 undergraduate g.p.a. is required.
Students not meeting the minimum 2.5 undergraduate g.p.a requirement may be admitted to the MBA program if their g.p.a. in the last 60 hours of undergraduate study was at least 2.75 and have a minimum composite index of 1,050.
4. Students may be conditionally admitted to the MBA program. Conditionally admitted students may only take foundation courses and must have met general admission to graduate study requirements. Once a student has completed the foundation course requirements, they will be unconditionally admitted.
5. The Foundation Course Sequence, or comparable course work, must be completed prior to full admission with at least a 3.0 grade point average and no grade of less than C in any course. Students may use College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) examinations to satisfy the foundation course requirements.
Application deadlines for admission into the MBA program are as follows:
Spring semester. All application materials must be postmarked no later than December 1.
Fall semester. All application materials must be postmarked no later than August 1.
Summer semesters. All application materials must be postmarked no later than April 15.
Types of Admission
Unconditional - students who meet the requirements for both general admission to graduate study and for a particular program.
Conditional - students who meet general requirements for admission to graduate study but fail to satisfy one or more special requirements for admission to a particular program. This is a temporary condition and students must work to meet the specified
conditions.
Unclassified - students who meet the requirements for admission to graduate study, but do not wish to work toward a graduate program. No more than nine hours earned as an unclassified student may later be applied to a graduate program.
To qualify - students whose undergraduate grade-point average is slightly below 2.5, but not less than 2.3. Students so admitted may, after completing a minimum of 12 semester hours of graduate work with at least a g.p.a of 3.0, be considered for admission to a degree program. Upon admission to a program, six of the twelve semester hours of graduate credit may be counted toward meeting degree
requirements.
To a Non-degree program - students who wish to do a planned graduate program that leads to renewal or additional certification, but not to a degree. Prerequisites include a baccalaureate degree and a teaching certificate.
Graduates of Non-accredited Colleges - These students must meet the MSU requirements for graduation. If this preparation is inadequate, this deficiency must be satisfied by taking designated courses that will not be counted as graduate credit. This deficiency may otherwise be satisfied by presenting a GRE score of 1500 or better.
