You will be asked to upload copies of transcripts from all higher education institutions attended and to self-report cumulative GPAs for each institution. If however you have taken coursework at an institution that shows as transfer work at a subsequent institution, we would not require that transcript at this time. All previous graduate credits must show a minimum grade point average of 3.2 out of 4.0. You will be asked to self-report scores on any standardized tests (GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, IELTS) that you have taken. The Gatton College requires a minimum GMAT score of 600 or a minimum GRE score of 310. You will be asked to upload your current resume/CV. You will be required to supply contact information for each recommender, most importantly, a valid e-mail address. 1-2 page personal essay about why you want to attend graduate school in Business Administration in your particular discipline (Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management). Once your application is received it is examined individually by the appropriate department in the Gatton College. Achievement of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
