The M.S. program in Supply Chain and Management is structured to accommodate students with various undergraduate degrees. Students with a previous course or work experience in accounting and finance can waive the three-credit pre-program requirement.  All candidates must have completed a four-year undergraduate degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution of higher education to qualify for admission.

All applicants must submit the following items:

• An online application
• Official transcripts from all institutions previously attended
  • A Bachelor’s Degree with at least 90 semester credit hours, or equivalent degree, issued by a recognized University or Business School
• Resume
• Test scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

• Waiver of the GMAT or GRE Requirement: Applicants with an undergraduate business degree from an AACSB-accredited program who have a minimum overall GPA of 3.2 or higher will be granted a GMAT/GRE waiver. Confirm online if your undergraduate business program is AACSB-accredited. Applicants with a lower GPA from an AACSB accredited program may still be considered for a GMAT waiver based upon their professional experience. We will also waive the GMAT exam for applicants that have earned a master’s degree or higher with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher from an accredited program in its discipline.
