Meeting the above requirements does not guarantee admission. Using a comprehensive evaluation system, the MBA Committee will review all applications on a case-by-case basis in terms of their readiness and qualifications. While the committee selects the best and most qualified candidates, they will direct other applicants to take certain necessary preparatory actions in order to be admitted to the program.

The program coordinator may approve as many as 10-quarter hours of credit into the MBA program. Not all graduate business courses from other institutions may be transferable. This transfer is made on a case-by-case basis.
