Current MBA Admission Policy
Applying Without the GMAT Applicants who choose not to take the GMAT must complete BSAD 510, Academic Writing for MBA Students, during their first semester in the MBA program.
Submitting a GMAT or GRE Applicants may submit a GMAT or GRE. A GMAT writing score of 4.5 or higher can be used to waive BSAD 510.
GMAT Is Optional
Applicants may choose whether or not to submit a GMAT or GRE score as part of the MBA admissions process. Your choice affects the MBA academic writing requirement.
Leveling Courses
Students without prior business coursework may be required to complete foundational courses before beginning the graduate MBA core.
Important: Students who earn less than a C in any required leveling course will be dismissed from the MBA program. Leveling requirements are generally completed before enrollment in the first 500-level courses, although limited exceptions may be approved while a student finishes the final leveling requirements.
International Applicants
International graduate applicants must satisfy CSU Pueblo's English-language proficiency requirements. For the MBA, the current graduate catalog requires a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 79–80 or an IELTS band score of 6.0.
Students who complete an undergraduate degree at an institution in the United States are exempt from this English-language test requirement.
