Degree Requirements

(a) Admission

Admission decisions will be made on a competitive basis by an admissions committee that is co-chaired by the two program coordinators and includes an equal number of faculty from each of The College of Arts and Sciences and The Fogelman College of Business and Economics. The admission factors include but are not limited to, in no particular order, GRE/GMAT scores, undergraduate and previous graduate records, and work experience. Every student must apply for admission into one of the two colleges, and must therefore meet any other admision criteria imposed by that college.

Admission may be granted to students not satisfying all the pre-requisites according to the standing procedure for Master's programs in each college. Such a student must satisfy pre-requisites immediately after admission while respecting their own pre-requisites and any other time limits imposed by the home Division or area.

(b) Summary of Course Requirements

In addition, graduates of this program will have completed all other requirements for the M.S. degree in their respective home departments, including, in particular, passing a comprehensive examination, as defined by the department.
