Choose Your Road to Your MBA
Your MBA. Your Road.
The MSU Denver MBA offers you four routes to begin your road to an MBA. Select ONE of the roads below that best fits your academic and professional background to continue:
To be considered for admission to our MBA program, your undergraduate degree must either be a 1) Bachelor of Art or 2) Bachelor of Science, from a national or regionally accredited four year institution. If your undergraduate degree is from an international institution, you must also upload a transcript evaluation from a NACES-accredited service.
* Applicants who are applying to the MBA program directly after completing their undergraduate degree and who do not yet have full-time work experience – need to schedule an informal 20-minute meeting with the MBA Director prior to admission consideration. This conversation is designed to help applicants better understand the expectations of the MBA program and to discuss their readiness for graduate-level business study. The MBA Admissions Coordinator will contact you to set this up.
Note: There are different types of admission we offer in our MBA program:
- Admission – admission without requirements
- Admission with Requirements – Regular admission but you have outstanding materials needed before you can begin MBA coursework.
- Conditional Admission – this is a probationary form of admission where the admitted student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher through their first 3 MBA classes. Failure to meet this requirement can result in the student being suspended or dismissed from the program.
