  
Master of Business Administration
The master of business administration degree program provides a broad
view of organizational performance from the perspective of general management.
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the M.B.A. program must anticipate having completed,
prior to matriculation in the program, either of the following:
 a baccalaureate in business or accounting from
an accredited college or university, or
a baccalaureate in another field together with Ithaca College's
27-credit management minor and five prerequisite courses;
or equivalent coursework taken elsewhere,
as determined by the M.B.A. Program Committee.
Applicants do not need extensive work experience; most accepted students
enter the program upon completion of their baccalaureates. The program
committee, however, gives preference to applicants who have completed
internships and have had meaningful summer jobs. Preference is also
given to those who intend to pursue the M.B.A. degree full-time.
Applicants normally are admitted to the program as matriculated students
(i.e., degree candidates). Occasionally, they are admitted provisionally
or as extramural students.
Graduate Management Admission Test Scores
Applicants to the M.B.A. program should
have a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of approximately
3.0 or better (on the 4.0 system) and GMAT (Graduate Management Admission
Test) scores that indicate future success in the M.B.A. program. Official
GMAT scores must be submitted to Ithaca College by the Educational Testing
Service. Information about the GMAT can be obtained from GMAT, Educational
Testing Service, P.O. Box 6103, Princeton, NJ 08541-6103; 609-771-7330;

Preparatory Undergraduate Courses -- 27 credits
The School of Business offers preparatory undergraduate courses through a management minor that can be taken
by Ithaca College students who are not
majoring in accounting or business administration. Equivalent courses
also may be taken at other institutions.
To verify the equivalency of courses taken elsewhere, contact the M.B.A.
program director. Upper-level courses (300- and 400-level) must be taken
at an accredited four-year institution.
