Have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 in all undergraduate coursework; or have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework; or have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in the applicant’s major field of study; or have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in all courses taken at the graduate level.

Additionally, all students must also submit the following:

A letter of intent that describes how the student envisions using the M.B.A. degree to enhance their personal and career goals.

Because some foundational experience in business and economics is crucial to success in the Shepherd M.B.A. program, students admitted to the M.B.A. must meet three content area prerequisites: Accounting, Statistics, and Economics. Foundational courses at the undergraduate level must have been taken within the last ten years with a grade of “C” or higher.

Applicants who lack this undergraduate coursework can fulfill the foundational requirements in one of three ways:

Taking the appropriate graduate foundations course work at the graduate level (online & face-to-face M.B.A. courses: these do not count toward the M.B.A.).

Submitting a portfolio of work-related experience and requesting an evaluation of academic coursework by the M.B.A. coordinator. Applicants may begin the M.B.A. program while completing their prerequisite courses.

Foundational courses must be completed within the first 9 credits of the M.B.A. program or within the first year of enrollment, whichever comes first.
