Applying is easy, but make sure you read the program requirements before you begin.

No GMAT Required
Graduate-level transfer credits must have been earned within 5 years
Submit Official Transcripts
Competency Refreshers May Be Required
General Requirements
  • The GMAT isn’t required, but you’ll need to submit an official transcript confirming your completion of a bachelor’s degree at a regionally accredited college or university, or the foreign equivalent.
  • Bachelor’s degrees from non-regionally accredited institutions will be accepted if the school was accredited by an accrediting body listed in the U.S. Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs at the time you attended.
MBA Requirements

There are no foundation requirements for students with bachelor’s degrees in economics, business, accounting, sports management, human resources, and marketing.

Bachelor’s graduates with other majors will need to successfully complete a business school competency refresher in modules covering basic accounting, fundamental economics, and business statistics. These modules are provided by Peregrine Global Services, an Excelsior partner, and designed to ensure that MBA students are prepared for the graduate business courses in the curriculum.

Students who are registered to take the competency refreshers will be able to take two core MBA courses prior to completing the modules. A student will need to complete the refreshers to take the rest of the curriculum. Should a student decide to not finish the refresher modules or is unsuccessful, they will have the option to switch their enrollment to another Excelsior graduate program.

Transferring Credit
  • You can submit your official transcripts from regionally accredited institutions or their equivalent for review to see if any credit is eligible to be transferred into your degree.
  • Graduate-level credits must have been earned within 5 years prior to your enrollment in the MBA program.
