CSU-Pueblo
JOINT BSBA/MBA
(3 PLUS 2 PROGRAM)
Admission Requirements
The BSBA/MBA program is unique. It allows qualified
students to earn both a BSBA and an MBA concurrently.
Students are required to take the Graduate Management
Admissions Test (GMAT). An admission index
formula of 200 times the undergraduate GPA (4.000
system) plus the GMAT score is used as an admission
score. The undergraduate GPA must be based on a
minimum of 90 semester hours of course work
including MGMT 201, FIN 330, and MKTG 340.
Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.25 and a
GMAT of at least 450 (i.e., an index of 1100) to be
admitted to the program. Students who fail to meet
these requirements may provide additional evidence of
their ability to complete the program. Such evidence
may include: performance in outside activities,
evidence of creativity or leadership, and a record of
accomplishment.
Prior to enrolling in the first 500-level course, students
are expected to have completed a significant portion of
the requirements for their undergraduate major and
must have submitted an acceptable GMAT.
NOTE: Students are strongly encouraged to complete
an internship prior to enrolling in graduate-level
courses.
