Online MBA Admission Requirements

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, admissions to our Online MBA have been suspended for future semesters, as UT Arlington is transitioning out of the UT System Online MBA partnership. While other UT System universities have developed, or are in the process of developing, their own online MBA programs, UT Arlington does not plan to offer a full online MBA program in the near future. Please feel free to revisit our website for future updates/developments.

Multiple criteria are used to make admission decisions. Quantitative measures include an applicant's GMAT score and grade point average (approximately 60 hours of coursework for U.S. applicants and the last two years of coursework for applicants with degrees from colleges/universities outside of the U.S.) as calculated by the Graduate School. These measures are integrated into a formula, or index, that multiplies the grade point average by 200 and adds the total GMAT score. The average GMAT score and GPA for students entering the MBA program are 550 and 3.25, respectively. Though work experience is not required, the MBA program prefers applicants with two to five years of professional work experience.

Because the MBA program involves working in student groups and communicating with faculty, an important consideration in the admission decision for international students is their English communication proficiency. Factors considered in determining English proficiency include TOEFL scores, scores on the verbal and writing sections of the GMAT exam, essay, and other written correspondence.

In addition to the GMAT exam, if your native language is not English, you must also achieve a TOEFL score of at least 550 (213 on computer-based test). The TOEFL requirement is waived for applicants who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited U.S. college or university.

For complete information about MBA admissions requirement, refer to the current graduate catalog.

Important

No guarantee of admission is implied by these criteria. A limited number of students will be admitted to the MBA Online program. Admission to the in-residence MBA program does not guarantee admission to the MBA Online program. Further, admission to the MBA Online program does not guarantee admission into any in-residence program.
