Eligibility Requirements

Overview

Bachelor’s Degree

  • Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
  • A minimum grade point average of 2.8 as your overall GPA or for your last 60 semester units attempted or 90 quarter units attempted.

Foundation Courses

All applicants must satisfy the six Foundation Courses (or their approved equivalents) as prerequisites to entering the program and enrolling in MBA Core Courses.  After transcript review, Foundation Course equivalents will be transferable from regionally accredited institutions where a minimum grade of C- or CR was earned and were completed within ten years prior to admission to the MBA program. If any Foundation Courses have not been completed, an applicant may receive “conditional” program admission and one semester to complete Foundation Courses.
