Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

The transcript should clearly indicate:

all coursework and grades (or marks)
the degree awarded
the date the degree was awarded

Please note that a 2.7/4.0 converted grade point average is required for admission to any of our graduate programs.

The Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) is required only of students who are applicants to the Masters of Business Administration program. It is required of both American and International students.

If the opportunity to take the GMAT is not available in the home country, students may be admitted conditionally with the College of Business approval.

However, if the student does not receive the required GMAT score in the first term of study at Pittsburg State University, he or she will not be allowed full admission to the MBA program and will have to withdraw or select another major.
