Master of Business Administration

AACSB

UNK's College of Business and Technology offers an AACSB-accredited 33-hour Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree--a professional graduate degree designed to prepare students with the knowledge and the leadership, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills needed to successfully manage an organization and its core functional areas.

The delivery of our MBA program is a mix of fully online and blended courses. Blended courses are online courses, but include up to six evening meetings where students have the option to conference into class via video conference or come to the classroom. We offer the convenience of online education and the value of live interactions with faculty and fellow students.

We provide a professional, personal experience that is accessible and affordable.

Admission to the program will be considered upon completion of the online application. Applicants may choose to be considered for full, unconditional admission through the first four options (below). The fifth option is for conditional admission:

Option	Applicants who have:	Minimum criteria for consideration towards full admission
1	A baccalaureate degree from an AACSB-accredited program.	Undergraduate GPA (UGPA): 3.70 GPA or higher on a standardized 4.0 scale GMAT/GRE requirement is waived
2	A baccalaureate degree with less than 2 years of full time post-baccalaureate work experience with:	Undergraduate GPA (UGPA): 2.75 overall on a standardized 4.0 scale GMAT: Minimum 480 or equivalent GRE score (Our school code is 6467) Meet a minimum score of 1100 using the following formula: (200*Undergraduate GPA) + GMAT score If applicant takes the GRE, the equivalent GMAT score will be used
3	A baccalaureate degree and at least 3 years of documented post-baccalaureate full time work experience with meaningful managerial responsibilities.	Undergraduate GPA (UGPA): 2.75 overall on a standardized 4.0 scale GMAT/GRE waived
4	Completed another U.S. equivalent Master, Ph.D. or a terminal degree.	Undergraduate GPA (UGPA): 2.75 overall GMAT/GRE waived
5	Two or more years of post-baccalaureate full time work experience with an Undergraduate GPA: 2.75 overall on a standardized 4.0 scale.	Students admitted conditionally must complete 9 hours of MBA graduate level courses at UNK, with at least 3 hours in a quantitative course, and maintain a 3.0 Graduate GPA or higher. Upon successful completion of these 9 hours the student is then considered unconditionally admitted. Failure to meet this condition will result in dismissal from the program. (GMAT/GRE will be waived for students meeting the condition above.)

Meeting the minimum criteria only assures applicants the consideration of their application for admission to the MBA program. An application must be complete in all respects to be considered for admission to the program.

Students who earned an undergraduate degree in a major other than business may need to complete up to 18 hours of foundational classes (i.e., economics, accounting, finance, statistics).

Students who received their baccalaureate degree outside the US must have their transcripts and their undergraduate degree credentialed by an approved agency.
For students who earned their baccalaureate degree in a university where the medium of instruction was predominantly in a language other than English (that is, from a country where English is NOT the native language), UNK requires English proficiency to be established by the applicant to pursue a graduate (Master’s or Specialist) degree. English proficiency can be established by taking one of the following tests and achieving the minimum scores indicated.
The option to apply as a pre-MBA student may not be available for international applicants. International students must be fully admitted into the MBA program to receive their I-20. In other words, international applicants must meet ALL the admission requirements when they apply.
The blended courses in the MBA program allow students to either sit in class during blended meetings or participate through web conference. For international students on a student visa, they are required to participate in class for the blended meetings.
