Frequently Asked Questions
- My undergraduate degree is NOT in Business.Can I still pursue the MBA?
Absolutely, yes. As a matter of fact, nearly a third of Bauernfeind MBA students are from non-business
backgrounds such as agriculture, education, engineering, chemistry, biology, occupational safety and
health, geography, physics, and mathematics, to name a few. The Bauernfeind MBA foundation courses will
take care of your deficiency in business.
- Can I take graduate courses while completing my undergraduate degree?
Only those students within 6 credit hours of completing their undergraduate degree are allowed to take
graduate courses, as long as they satisfy the other admission requirements.
- Which entrance exam do I take: the GMAT or GRE?
Prior to October 2005, students could only take the
GMAT to get into the Bauernfeind MBA Program. Since
October 2005, you have the option of taking either
the GMAT or GRE. For admission consideration, all
candidates must
take either the Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMAT) OR the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). There
are no exceptions to this rule. Ask ETS to send
scores directly to Murray State University using
our institution code: 1494. Students who are in
Murray should consult the Counseling and Testing
Center in Ordway Hall (next to the MSU main library)
or call them at (270) 762-6851 about taking the
test.
- Unconditional Admission
If you take the GMAT, then you must satisfy the GMAT admission formula, which is:
(200 x GPA) + GMAT > 1,000 Points. If you take the GRE, on the other hand, you must satisfy the GRE
formula, which is: (200 x GPA) + GRE > 1,400 Points. This GRE formula uses the combined score from the
Quantitative and Verbal sections only.
