Eligibility Requirements:

You must take either the GRE or GMAT. All test scores must be reported directly by the Education Testing Service (ETS). If you took either of these tests more than five years ago, you MUST take it again. Because of the quantitative nature of the program, the faculty require that all students complete a college level course in advanced algebra/pre-calculus prior to enrollment. It is suggested that applicants also complete college level courses in economics and statistics prior to enrollment. Students who have not completed these courses may be required to enroll in and successfully complete the Quantitative Skills Summer Program (QSSP) as a condition of their offer of admission. QSSP is a free program – offered prior to the start of the Fall semester.
