Admission Requirements
Prospective students will be evaluated on the basis of work experience (including military service), undergraduate degree and performance (recommended minimum 3.0 GPA), prior graduate study, and standardized test scores (GMAT or GRE). These do not guarantee admission; they ensure that the application will be reviewed for admission. Students who are denied admission will need to submit a separate application and application fee if they choose to reapply in future semesters.
Deadlines
You may apply for admission for the fall, spring or summer semesters. Students admitted before the semester starts may take classes in either or both of the eight-week terms (term A or term B) offered that semester. If you miss the semester deadline, you will be considered for admission in the following semester. Application deadlines are July 1 for the fall semester, November 1 for the spring semester, and April 1 for the summer semester.
Prerequisites
You are expected to have developed proficiency in using Microsoft Excel before beginning the program.
Application Requirements
-
Bachelor’s Degree, 3.0 GPA Recommended
Official transcripts are required for admission. Transcript instructions for both domestic and international students can be found in the “Review Admission Process” tab above.
Students with less than a 3.0 GPA, but who possess relevant professional experience, will still be considered for the program.
-
GMAT or GRE Score Optional
GMAT or GRE score is not required. However, for students with less than a 3.0 GPA and minimal work experience, test scores may help improve the application.
If you choose to take the GMAT or GMAT Focus Edition, please have your results forwarded to Nebraska (school code S40-HW-48). Once you take the exam, enter your unofficial scores into the graduate application. Please visit the official GMAT website for more information and to register for the test.
