Entry requirements

The program page directs applicants to view full admission requirements and to apply; specific numeric thresholds or prerequisite lists are not provided on the source text. Notable programme-specific rules: students may not register for more than 12 M.B.A. credits in a single semester without the MBA director's approval, and business undergraduates can substitute an additional elective in place of BU599.

Career prospects

The M.B.A. prepares graduates for leadership roles across corporate, government, and service organizations and supports entrepreneurship. The source highlights common career paths for M.B.A. holders including marketing manager, medical and health services manager, management consultant, financial manager, and business operations manager. The program also cites broader outcomes such as expanded leadership opportunities, professional-network growth, and increased earning potential; a Financial Times finding referenced on the page notes that M.B.A. graduates typically double their salaries within three years of graduation.

Scholarships & funding angle

The program emphasizes affordability: the degree is 36 credits (shorter than many M.B.A. programs), offers flexible pacing to reduce cost burden, and allows GCU business or accounting undergraduates to take up to four M.B.A. courses before graduating to save on tuition. The source encourages applicants to explore the university's published curriculum and admission materials for full details on financial aid and scholarships.
