Entry Requirements

The Master of Business Administration program requires successful completion of 48 semester-credit hours. The program includes elective courses and concentration areas, which provide flexibility in customizing the program to meet professional and personal goals. Total program length varies based on the number of courses taken per eight-week session. Courses are distributed as outlined below.

Students who are licensed CPAs or who have passed parts of the CPA exam are exempt, as appropriate, from AC591, AC592, AC593 and AC594, thus reducing the number of elective courses required for graduation. Students are granted these exemptions in addition to those allowed as described in Transfer Credit, Course Waivers and Course Exemptions. Students who hold an undergraduate accounting degree may be eligible to waive one or more of the accounting foundations courses (except in New York); however, each course waived must be replaced with an elective course.

The various requirements are:

• Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from a DeVryrecognized post-secondary institution. This includes institutions accredited by U.S. regional accrediting agencies or selected national accrediting agencies, and international institutions recognized as the equivalent. International applicants must hold a degree recognized as equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. Applicants must also demonstrate quantitative and verbal skills proficiency (see Prerequisite Skills Requirements). No specific undergraduate concentration or preparatory coursework is required for admission.
• Applicants who meet baccalaureate degree requirements and whose undergraduate cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is 2.70 or higher (on a 4.00 scale) are
  eligible for admission.
• Applicants who meet baccalaureate degree requirements and whose undergraduate CGPA is below 2.70 must also achieve acceptable scores on the Graduate
  Management Admission Test (GMAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Keller-administered admission test. The Keller-administered test may be
  completed, by appointment, wherever the University’s graduate programs are offered or through the DeVry University Assessment Center. GMAT and GRE test scores are valid up to five years from the date tests are completed. No time limit applies to scores from our alternative admission test.
• Applicants must also complete a personal interview with an admissions advisor (admissions representative in Florida, Minnesota, Nebraska and Oregon). Interviews can be scheduled during day or evening hours on weekdays, or on Saturday, by appointment, by contacting the center dean or an admissions advisor. Prospective online students who are unable to meet in person must complete an interview with an admissions advisor via synchronous electronic chat mode or by telephone.
• All admission decisions are based on evaluation of a candidate’s academic credentials, applicable admission test scores and interview.
• All applicants must demonstrate quantitative and verbal skills proficiency. Proficiency can be demonstrated by submitting acceptable GMAT, GRE or Keller-administered test scores, or through prior coursework performance.
• Applicants whose demonstrated proficiency indicates their quantitative skills meet only minimum standards must successfully complete Foundations of Managerial Mathematics (GM400) with a grade of B (3.00) or better before they may enroll in most courses at the 500 level or above. However, students enrolled in GM400 who do not require Foundations of Professional Communication (GM410) may also enroll in one of the following: GM520, GM591, HR587, HR590, HR592 or HR594.
• Applicants whose demonstrated proficiency indicates their verbal skills meet only minimum standards must successfully complete GM410 with a grade of B (3.00) or better before they may enroll in most courses at the 500 level or above. However, students enrolled in GM410 who do not require GM400 may also enroll in one of the following: FI504, GM533, GM545, GM588, IS535 or PM586.
