Bauernfeind MBA Admission Requirements

All applicants, including those with GPAs of 3.0 and above, must take either the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and achieve a minimum score of 400, or the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and achieve a minimum score of 800. There are no exceptions or exemptions to taking the GMAT or GRE. Applicants with undergraduate grade point averages (GPAs) of less than 3.0 on the 4.0 scale need GMAT scores that are higher than 400, or GRE scores higher than 800. For unconditional admission to the program, an applicant must satisfy one of two formulas: (200 x UGPA) + GMAT ≥ 1,000 if they take the GMAT. If they take the GRE, they must satisfy the admission formula: (200 x UGPA) + GRE ≥ 1,400. The GRE formula uses the combined score from the Quantitative and Verbal sections only.

Applicants can also be admitted conditionally, as long as they have at least a 2.75 undergraduate GPA overall, or at least a 3.0 GPA in their last 60 hours of undergraduate study. Conditionally admitted students must take the GMAT within two months of receiving their conditional letter of acceptance, or they will be dropped from the program.

In addition, candidates must take and score at least 525 on the paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or 197 on the computer-based TOEFL if English is not their native language or they have not graduated from an accredited English speaking university.
