In addition to the Graduate School Admission Requirements , applicants must have an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education and relevant work experience of at least 2-3 years in projects and project management.  Applicants must submit a recommendation letter from a current or past employer; a goal statement that includes the program to which they are applying, their professional goals and aspirations, their motivation for applying to the program, and any relevant formal or informal experiences and current resume. A GMAT (or GRE) test score is optional.

A minimum GMAT (or a GRE equivalent) score of 400 is preferred in verbal and quantitative tests; higher scores improve the change of admission.  GMAT scores are waived for applicants holding a graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
