In a regular semester, the student may register for no more than 15 hours, six of which may be graduate course work. Students in this category will have to be advised by the MBA Director and will only be able to register during regular registration.

It is strongly advised that prospective students prepare for the GMAT in advance (see How do I prepare for the GMAT?) and schedule to take the exam at least a month in advance of the semester you wish to enroll. By preparing in advance and taking the exam early, students would know well in advance if they meet the admission requirements of the program and perhaps have enough time to retake the exam if needed.

The following link provides some resources that you may wish to consider in preparing for the exam. There are certainly many other types of GMAT preparation books, software packages and courses you may wish to consider to bolster you test scores.

In addition to an undergraduate degree from an accredited university, students will have two - three specific prerequisite courses (or their equivalent taken in another college or at another university – to be determined by the MBA director).
