Eligibility Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree

• Undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
• A minimum grade point average of 2.8 is required as your overall GPA or for your last 60 semester (90 quarter) units attempted.

Foundation Courses

All applicants must complete six foundation courses, or their approved equivalents, before enrolling in MBA core courses.  During the transcript review process, credit may be granted for equivalent courses completed at regionally accredited institutions, provided a minimum grade of C- or CR was earned and the courses were completed within ten years prior to admission. Applicants who have not yet satisfied all foundation course requirements may be granted conditional admission and will have one semester to complete the remaining prerequisites. The required foundation courses are listed in the table below.

Note: If each of the foundation courses listed above is NOT on your transcripts, a transcript review and department approval are required. Simply email copies of your transcripts to Dr. David Zhu at dzhu@csustan.edu, and he will confirm whether your transcript/s includes an equivalent for each foundation course from an accredited college or university that can satisfy these eligibility prerequisites.

Work Experience

Candidates must demonstrate at least two years of relevant, full-time employment in a professional role, a supervisory role, or an equivalent. Those without the required experience may request a waiver based on exceptional academic performance.
