Haslam’s MSBA program seeks students with strong quantitative abilities and a desire to help businesses with their data-driven decisions. Each admissions decision is based on many factors: undergraduate coursework, quantitative aptitude, undergraduate GPA, work experience, references, test scores and a personal interview.

Prerequisite Coursework:
We do not require a specific undergraduate degree. The most successful students are those who have a strong technical aptitude and have taken quantitative courses in their undergraduate program of study, such as math, statistics and calculus.

English Language Proficiency:
The TOEFL or IELTS is required for students whose native language is not English and who do not have a degree from a U.S. college/university dated less than two years prior to entering the MSBA program. The program requires a score of 100 IBT (250 CBT and 600 paper test) or higher on the TOEFL. A score of 7.5 or higher is required for the IELTS. The TOEFL and IELTS scores are valid for two years.

The application for admission opens annually in September and applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the class is filled. Aside from international applicants, there are no hard deadlines for admission.
