Admission Requirements

To be eligible for enrollment in the MBA Program at King College an applicant must meet the following criteria:

  • Completion of a Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university.
  • Cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better on all prior academic work. Students who do not meet this requirement may be conditionally accepted.
  • Completion of application requirements.

Admission Procedure

To apply for admission to the Master of Business Administration program, individuals must take the following steps:

  • Submit a completed application.
  • Pay the application fee of $25.
  • Send a transcript request form to each college or university previously attended. Applicants should check with the Registrar from each institution for the appropriate transcript fee.
  • Submit two recommendations from professional sources. These can be from your supervisor and another professional source (including a previous college instructor or another professional colleague whom you have not supervised).
    • Our application system requires recommendations be completed online by your recommenders.
    • When completing your application you will be asked to identify two recommenders and enter their e-mail addresses.
    • Not until after you click the final submit button for your application will your recommenders receive an email containing a link to a customized online recommendation form. After the initial request, the link is automatically sent once more one week later if the recommendation has still not been submitted.
    • Once entered, any substitution to those two names must be handled by paper submission.
  • Write a three-to-four page personal statement indicating your interest in the program, your academic experience, any job-related experience, and your career goals.
  • Provide a copy of your one-to-two page resume.
  • Interview with the Graduate Admissions Committee (Interview Tips)
  • Pay the enrollment deposit of $100 to reserve a space in the class.
  • Plan to attend Registration and Orientation.

Conditional Acceptance

The Graduate Admission Committee will consider any exceptions to the above criteria. (The Graduate Admission Committee is made up of the Director of the MBA program and one other at-large member of the school of Business and Economics.) Students who do not meet the minimum GPA requirements, but appear to be capable of performing well in the program, at the discretion of the admission committee may be accepted conditionally into the program. Conditional acceptance will be lifted upon the student's successful completion of his or her first semester with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Failure to achieve a grade point average of 3.0 or higher will result in the student being academically suspended.

GMAT Policy

The MBA Program at King College does not require GMAT scores.

MBA Program Requirement

To earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, each Graduate Student must:

Complete the required workshops related to six disciplines (Accounting, Economics, Finance, Leadership, Marketing, and Statistics) which will be provided in the first week of the program to provide students, regardless of their academic background, with the skill sets necessary for MBA coursework.

Complete the 36 hours of graduate level coursework.

Have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale) or above, and received no more than two Cs.

Pay all fees and tuition charges.

Academic Policies

All Graduate Students are subject to the Academic Policies of the King College Center for Graduate and Professional Studies.

Transfer Credit

Up to six graduate credits of "B" work or above from regionally accredited colleges or universities may be accepted in transfer toward meeting the elective requirements of the program.

Registration and Orientation

Registration occurs once a student submits the $100 enrollment deposit. The student is automatically registered for required program courses by their assigned Student Support Specialist.

Orientation is held within the week prior to the first class meeting and is mandatory for all new students. Curriculum materials for the first semester and assignments for the first week are provided by the College at that time. All tuition and fees for the first semester must be paid at registration unless other arrangements have been made as detailed in the Financial Information section of this web site.
