Admission is limited and competitive.

To be eligible, applicants shall:

• Normally hold at least a bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA of 2.75 for graduates of Memorial University and other AACSB institutions, or a minimum GPA of 3.0 for graduates of another institution recognized by Senate, as evidenced by an official transcript from each university or other post-secondary institution. If not recorded on the transcript, official evidence of completion of undergraduate degree must also be submitted;
• Normally have accumulated a minimum of five years of full-time relevant work experience, or self-employment, deemed acceptable to the Faculty of Business Administration as evidenced by a CV or resume that shows, in detail, work experience and provides employer contact information for verification. Work experience need not be continuous and may have been obtained prior to or concurrent with a previous degree program; and
• Provide letters of appraisal from two referees, at least one of whom has had close professional contact with the applicant within the last two years, and at least one of whom is capable of appraising the applicant's academic potential as a graduate student.

Applicants who didn’t complete a bachelor's degree at a recognized university where English is the primary language of instruction must normally complete either the:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and achieve a paper-based score of 580 (or higher), computer-based score of 237 (or higher), or Internet based score of 92-93 (or higher); or
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and achieve a score of 7 (or higher).

Where applicable, an official TOEFL or IELTS (or another equivalent test acceptable to the School of Graduate Studies), shall be submitted directly by the educational testing service.

Applicants who have completed an undergraduate program, or a graduate program at a recognized institution where the language of instruction is English, aren’t required to take an English proficiency test.

If the institution is located outside of Canada or the United States, applicants are advised to provide a document (e.g. transcript or letter) from their university stating the language of instruction as English (as “Grad Proof of English Proficiency”).
