Admission decisions are related to the applicant's undergraduate academic record, recommendations, prior work experience, graduate examination GMAT score, and approved English language test (TOEFL) for students whose native language is not English.

The following guidelines apply

1. Transfer courses from other graduate programs will be assessed carefully and, typically, only six semester credits or 10 quarter credits will be considered for transfer as a student enters the MBA program.
   
   
2. A TOEFL score of at least 213 (550 computer-based TOEFL) is required for students who are not native speakers of English, unless a student has received a bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. college or university.
   
   
3. All applicants must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited or chartered college or university.
