Fall 2016 Graduate Calendar

THE MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE

The purpose of the Master of Business Administration program is to provide broad graduate study in the general field of business administration. It provides students with three important components to prepare them for management positions; academic knowledge, job skills and work experience.

Graduate students have the opportunity of expanding their accounting, administrative, finance, marketing, management science and strategy expertise. The program emphasizes knowledge that prepares students for careers in private industry and business, for the public service, and for doctoral studies.

Admission Requirements

1) Applicants who have secured satisfactory standing (at least a B- average) in their undergraduate work may be admitted. Major consideration is given to the performance during the last two years of the undergraduate program. Applicants without an undergraduate degree who possess at least ten years of significant and senior professional, managerial or entrepreneurial experience may be considered for admission to the MBA program. Possession of the minimum requirements for admission does not ensure acceptance.

Students must write the GMAT before applying for admission to the Faculty. Applicants who hold an M.B.A or a Ph.D. from a foreign University (or equivalent degree) in any discipline may not be required to write the GMAT. (Details of the Test may be obtained from The Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540.) The order form for the Bulletin of Information for the GMAT is available in the Office of the Registrar and in the M.B.A office.

2) Students in the candidate year who maintain a 70% average or better will qualify for the M.B.A. degree.

Professional Accounting Designation

Students who are interested in pursuing both a professional accounting designation (i.e., C.A., C.M.A., C.G.A., C.P.A., or Post-Graduate Certificate in Accounting) and the M.B.A. are advised to complete their accounting course requirements while being registered in the Bachelor of Commerce for University Graduates program and then to apply for admission directly to the M.B.A. program.
