The main goal of the 3+2 plan is to give the opportunity to qualified advanced-level undergraduate students to simultaneously pursue both the baccalaureate (BS) and the master of science (MS) degrees. Talented students are thus quickly moved toward expanding their academic and scientific horizons based on the student’s abilities and personal motivation. Specific requirements for the 3+2 program are included in the Masters Degree in Applied Natural Science 3+2 Plan (BS/MS) description of the College of Science and Mathematics, undergraduate programs section of this catalog. MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) The goal of the MBA program is to prepare students for high-level general management careers in business and other organizations. Students acquire an understanding of management theory and application, the economic, political and social environment in which businesses function, and behavioral skills that are essential in the manager’s role in the implementation of business decisions. The MBA program strives to provide an environment conducive to the development of each student’s ability to think in a creative and effective manner. The program makes extensive use of lectures, seminars, group projects, and case studies that are designed to demonstrate the integrative, interdisciplinary nature of business decisions. 72

Graduate Programs The program is open to all applicants with a bachelor’s degree, regardless of the undergraduate field of study, who can demonstrate an appropriate background in statistics. Students without prior business course work will be required to take leveling courses in financial accounting, microeconomics, finance, management, and marketing. Students who earn less than a “C” in any leveling course will be dismissed from the program. Graduate students are required to complete all leveling course requirements before enrolling in the first 500-level courses. In some instances, a student will be permitted to enroll in 500-level courses while completing the final leveling courses. All MBA students are required to take the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). An admission formula of 200 times the undergraduate GPA (4.000 system) plus the GMAT score will constitute a scaled admission score for each applicant. Students may be admitted in one of two categories. Category I admission will be granted to students who have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.000 and have a GMAT score of at least 450, with an index of at least 1050. Category II admission may be granted to students with GPAs between 2.500 and 3.000. Category II admitted students must have a GMAT score of at least 400, with an index of at least 1000 before the end of the semester in which they complete six hours at the 500 level. Students will not be allowed to enroll in more than six hours of graduate level course work without being fully admitted to the program. Students who fail to meet these admissions 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. The MBA degree will be conferred upon students who successfully complete a minimum of 36 hours of approved course work with a minimum GPA of at least 3.000. The curriculum includes the following 27 credits which are taken by all candidates. MGMT 585 Management Policy and Strategy ... 3 MKTG 540 Marketing Management ................. 3 __________ TOTAL 27 In addition, each candidate must select one of the following three options for 9 additional credits.
