Our Master of Science in Management program is open to all bachelor’s degree holders from accredited institutions, regardless of major. No work experience is required. The process is swift and straightforward, but it’s important that you invest effort in crafting a strong application. Below, we’ve outlined the requirements in detail.

Our application requirements.

1. Unofficial transcripts*. Include records of all undergraduate coursework, noting:

  • Other institutions where courses were taken for credit
    *We only require unofficial transcripts for initial review.
