Sustainable Business (MBA)
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree. Acceptance is based upon the quality of undergraduate performance, aptitude test scores, work experience and other achievements.
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is recommended but not required.
Before enrolling for the first semester of the MBA, students should be familiar with principles of economics, from a prior college course or from reading a Principles of Economics textbook. Knowledge of college algebra is strongly recommended for acceptance into the program. Students who do not have the prerequisite knowledge of mathematics will be required to take MGT 417 Mathematics for Business in a summer session prior to their first semester or as an elective course.
If you have a business major
If you have an undergraduate degree with a major in business, you may receive credit for undergraduate business courses in the following areas in which you received a grade of B or higher: Marketing, Accounting, Financial Management, Business Law and Ethics, Operations or Quality Management, and Human Resource Management or Leadership. You could earn your MBA in as little as one year.
For international students
All applicants who are not native speakers of English must submit official test scores (either TOEFL or IELTS) from the previous two years. Scores on the Compass ESL placement test are acceptable as well.
Students with scores below 6.5 on IELTS, 575 TOEFL paper-based, 232 TOEFL computer-based and 90 TOEFL internet-based will take Intensive English classes before enrolling in degree program classes. Find out more about the TOEFL.
All international students are required to complete the preliminary assessment before applying.
International equivalents: Our admissions counselors are familiar with the interpretation of transcripts based on grading systems from most nations. We will evaluate your marks and notify you if you qualify, and if you are required to take the GMAT.
Please note the following points:
- At least 16 years of education are required (15 years may be considered at the discretion of the University).
- Bachelor’s degree must be a 4-year degree (a 3-year degree may be considered at the discretion of Maharishi University of Management).
- Undergraduate Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 must be equivalent to “B” average in letter grade or higher, based on the USA grading system.
Our recommendation to help you obtain a visa
All international applicants who reside outside the U.S. are encouraged to take the GMAT, regardless of grades and diplomas. A high GMAT score is likely to increase the chances of obtaining an F-1 student visa from the U.S. Embassy. Find out more about the GMAT.
