In most cases, this requires an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.00 accompanied by a GMAT score of at least 500.

In addition, the admission process requires complete, official transcripts of all undergraduate work, two recommendations, and a self-evaluation of work experience. A committee on graduate admissions reviews the applications and selects those who will be accepted to the program.

1) A completed Application for Admission form

3) A statement of self-evaluation of work experience and career objectives
