Essay on Sustainability (MBA only) In 1,000 to 1,500 words, define 'sustainability' from your perspective and explain its relevance to managers and entrepreneurs, now and in the future.

All Master's programs require that you have completed a bachelor's degree.
B.S. - Managing Information Systems (BSMIS) - we recommend students enter with between 60 and 90 undergraduate credits.
M.S. in Information Technologies (MSIT) - applicants should have their own laptop (students can buy one at a discount) and have a high comfort level with new technology.
M.S.M. in Health Care Administration (MSM-HCA) - candidates should have experience working with or within a health care organization.
M.B.A. in Managing for Sustainability (MBA) - Proficiency in accounting, quantitative methods and the use of Excel increases the likelihood of a successful entry to the MBA program. In order to ensure proficiency we may require students to complete online preparatory courses from GMAT Business Ready^TM in Accounting and Quantitative Skills, at their own expense, before they begin class in January. One or both of these courses may be waived during the application process, depending on an applicant's prior education and work experience. Students should also arrange for training in basic Excel skills, if needed.

To enroll in our programs, you must own or have access to an up-to-date computer with Internet access. The faster and more powerful the computer, the easier doing your coursework will be.
A broadband Internet connection is strongly recommended.

Admissions to the school are inclusive. We make admissions decisions based upon your qualifications for our programs and how well our programs align with your goals. Therefore, you are not required to take GREs or to supply test scores.
