MBA in Sustainable Business
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 degree in a related field
If you have an undergraduate degree with a major in Business Management or Sustainable Living, you may be able to earn your MBA in 1 to 1.5 years through a transfer of credits.
For International Students
English requirements: International applicants must meet the following English requirements:
- Fluency in reading and writing (correct use of English grammar, spelling, punctuation)
- Fluency in spoken English — ability to speak and understand at normal conversational speed
All applications are assessed for English writing skills. International students are also assessed for spoken English fluency. A few minor mistakes are permissible. We encourage you to obtain intensive English training from native English-speaking instructors in your home country before applying. If your assessment indicates that your English needs improving, you will be required to take the TOEFL examination and earn a score of least 550 (paper based) or 213 (computer based). 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.
