MBA Admission Policies and Procedures

Conditional Admission

If the admissions requirements are not fully met, the Skinner School of Business and Technology (SSBT) Graduate Program Director will review the applicant’s file and may grant admittance to the program on a conditional status. A student receiving conditional admission must have at least a GPA of 3.0 at the completion of 9 credit hours in the program. If this condition is met, the student will be granted full standing admission in the program and will be subject to the standard program policies. If the condition is not met, the student is placed on academic suspension. After a three-month waiting period, the student may petition to return to the program. The student must submit a written request to the Graduate Program Admissions Committee for consideration of whether the student should be allowed to continue under conditional status or be dismissed from the program. If such determination is made by the committee to allow further work under conditional status, then the student must have a 3.0 average after 18 hours in the program. If the student has less than a 3.0 after 18 hours in the program, the student is again placed on academic suspension. Students interested in being reinstated should consult the academic suspension policy.

MBA Admission Requirements

Admission into the MBA program is based on a careful appraisal of the applicant's academic record, performance, and work experience, if any.

To be considered for admission, applicants must:

1. Submit an online application.
2. Have earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution, with a cumulative undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher. Applicants must submit one official transcript from all colleges/universities attended (undergraduate and graduate work). These transcripts must be sent directly (by mail or fax) from the institution to the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies Admissions, Trevecca Nazarene University, 333 Murfreesboro Road, Nashville, TN 37210. All hours from accredited institutions will be considered in calculating the cumulative GPA.
3. Have prior credit of a college math course (grade "C" or higher), reflected on transcript, or equivalent.
4. Have prior credit of a college English Composition course (grade "C" or higher), reflected on transcript, or equivalent.

For those who do not have a four-year degree that was completed within the United States, a 40-minute, writing assessment at Trevecca is required as a part of the admissions process.

Students not meeting the minimum requirements may request conditional admission from the Skinner School of Business and Technology Graduate Programs Director.
