3. Admissions - decision-making considerations:

Admission is open to all, regardless of undergraduate major. Almost all students admitted have undergraduate cumulative grade point averages (or cumulative graduate grade point averages, in the case of applicants holding advanced degrees) of 3.25 or better on a 4.00-point scale.

In making admissions decisions, the College of Business Admissions Committee applies a partially compensatory decision process. Under this process, exceptional strength in terms of GMAT (MCAT, LSAT or GRE) scores, GPA, or work experience can offset minor deficiencies in another area. However, no exceptions are made to the TOEFL/TOEIC minimum score requirement for those for whom TOEFL/TOEIC scores are required.

New students can begin the program in the fall or spring semester. The application deadline for the fall semester is January 15th and for the spring semester is October 1. Applications will be considered after these deadlines as long as space is available.
