Business Analytics
In addition to the Graduate School application requirements, an official GMAT or GRE exam score is required. Individuals seeking admission to the MSBA program may request a waiver of the GMAT/GRE requirement if they meet either of the following requirements:
- The applicant holds a terminal degree (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., J.D.).
- The applicant has a minimum of five (5) years of recent, post-bachelor’s, full-time, professional work experience that is relevant to business analytics and data science.
Appropriate documentation (i.e. official transcript(s), Statement of Purpose, resume) must be uploaded to the application file. It does not, however, guarantee a waiver. Applicants should request the waiver in their Statement of Purpose and provide the rationale for the waiver request. Applicants are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and waiver approval is determined at the discretion of the MSBA program coordinator.
