Graduate Programs FAQ
You will need a professional resume, personal statement, two (2) letters of recommendation, and a transcript. GMAT requirements are optional through the current admission cycle.
For a limited time, UofL business and UofL STEM seniors with GPAs of 3.0+ are automatically accepted into the MSAA and MBA programs. A GPA of 3.2+ is required for automatic admission into the MSBA program. Apply for expedited admission as soon as possible.
The early deadline is December 1st; the standard deadline is April 1 (domestic) and May 1 (international). Admissions are on a rolling basis.
There is no exact GPA requirement but be aware that applicants with lower GPAs will likely need to display strong academic performance elsewhere (internships, work experience). A GPA of less than 2.5 requires a variance form.
Classes start in August for all graduate programs. MSBA (seated), MSAA, and Online MBA have January start dates.
There are no pre-requisites for the seated MBA programs. The MSBA and Online MBA requires a prep course in statistics that is furnished free to the students before classes start. The MSAA requires at least 18 credit hours of accounting undergraduate work to be considered for admission. Contact a recruiter today if you have additional questions regarding your qualifications.
Class sizes vary for each program and range from 20 – 70 students.
All graduate courses are taught in the evening from 6-9:30 p.m., typically two or three nights per week, depending on the program.
You do not have to be a business major to apply (and be admitted) to MBA and MSBA graduate programs. The MSAA program requires an accounting undergraduate degree OR 18 hours of accounting prerequisites.
Your classes are predetermined, and you will be registered for them by our admissions team. You do have the freedom to choose electives later in the program.
Many of the students work full-time or have professional jobs outside of class. Our on-campus night classes help students who are working full-time balance their classwork and professional life.
