(3 PLUS 2 PROGRAM)
Admission Requirements
Students are required to take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). An admission formula of 200 times the undergraduate GPA (4.000 system) plus the GMAT score is used as an admission score. The undergraduate GPA must be based on a minimum of 90 semester hours of course work including MGMT 201, FIN 330, and MKTG 340. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.25 and a GMAT of at least 450 (i.e., an index of 1100) to be admitted to the program. Students who fail to meet these requirements may provide additional evidence of their ability to complete the program. Such evidence may include: performance in outside activities, evidence of creativity or leadership, and a record of accomplishment.
Prior to enrolling in the first 500-level course, students are expected to have completed a significant portion of the requirements for their undergraduate major and must have submitted an acceptable GMAT.
Note: students are strongly encouraged to complete an internship prior to enrolling in graduate-level courses.
The Hasan School of Business also offers a graduate program leading to a master’s degree in business administration. The degree of Master of Business Administration is granted for the completion of a graduate program that 1) includes knowledge of the various functions of the business organization, and 2) synthesizes that knowledge into the practice of management.
Students are expected to achieve an advanced understanding of the function of the executive and to develop a high degree of competence in transferring that knowledge to the actual work situation.
