Curriculum

Program Rationale:

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program is designed to fulfill the educational needs of students and working professionals whose career paths are directed toward business analytics, finance, or accounting.

MBA Admission Requirements:

Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education with an undergraduate GPA of 2.70 or higher and a minimum GPA of 3.00 or higher in any post-baccalaureate coursework.

Admitted students with an undergraduate business degree will proceed directly into the 30-credit MBA program. Admitted students without an undergraduate business degree will need to complete foundational learning as determined by the program director before proceeding into graduate-level coursework.

All applicants must submit:

• Online Application
• Application fee
• Official transcripts directly from each institution attended except from CCSU
• Professional Resume

International Applicants must also submit:

• TOEFL or IELTS scores
• Course-by-Course evaluation of foreign credentials from a NACES member evaluation service
• Original translations of foreign academic records

Recommended Materials:

• Evidence of CPA, CMA, CFA, or other professional licenses
• Up to three letters of recommendation
• Personal Statement

The graduate application, application fee, and official transcripts are to be submitted to the Graduate Recruitment and Admissions Office. Official transcripts must be sent directly to the Graduate Recruitment and Admissions Office from each institution attended except Central Connecticut State University. Instructions for uploading the resume will be found within the graduate online application.

Applications are reviewed holistically for evidence predicting potential success in graduate business education. Meeting the minimum published admission criteria does not guarantee admission. Occasionally, applicants who do not meet all published admission criteria may be granted conditional admission based on the strength of their overall application.
