Admission to the MBA program is granted to students who show high promise of success in postgraduate business study and who hold bachelor's degrees from regionally accredited institutions.

Previous academic training in business is not required for admission to the MBA program. Students may have backgrounds in such diverse fields as engineering, liberal arts, education and health related areas. The specific content of a student's previous education is less important than the evidence that the student has sound scholarship, strong personal motivation, and the ability to develop the skills necessary to assume positions of leadership.

Admission decisions are based on the following:

Graduate Management Admission Test/Graduate Record Examination (GMAT/GRE) scores - overall score and component (i.e., verbal, quantitative and analytical writing) scores are evaluated. The GMAT/GRE must have been taken within the last six years,1
Personal Goals essay that clearly articulates the applicant's reasons for seeking admission (500 words maximum),
Two reference forms completed by faculty, employer or suitable referee,
Current resume (career-based work experience is desirable but not required), and
International students are required to have a minimum score of 570 (paper-based), or 88 (internet-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or an overall band score of 7.0 on the IELTS.
