Entry requirements

The public program description does not list specific GPA or test-score thresholds. Bethel notes pathways that can reduce course load: students with certain master’s-level professional certifications (for example CPA, CFP, PMP and other certified professionals) may be awarded up to nine credits toward the 42-credit MBA for past experience. Students in Bethel’s B.S. in Business Management can take up to three MBA courses as part of a CAPS to MBA pathway to jumpstart the degree. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact an admissions counselor for personalised guidance.

Bethel reports that more than 60% of MBA students find a better job or receive a promotion while enrolled, with additional promotions occurring after graduation. Approximately 30% of alumni pursue careers in healthcare. The program includes certified career coaching, networking opportunities with classmates and alumni, and an emphasis on teamwork and practical leadership skills that employers seek.
