Is there an application deadline?
No. However, the application should be into the Graduate School office in enough time to be processed so that the graduate student may be able to be enrolled in classes.
Do I need to take the GRE?
No. There is no GRE or GMAT requirement for the program.
What score do I need on the TOEFL?
The minimum score required is 500 on the paper-based test. This is equivalent to a score of 173 on a computer-based test and a score of 61 on an Internet-based test.
How long does it take to complete the program?
A student admitted with full status and no deficiency requirements can complete the program in three semesters. In this case, the student would take courses during the fall and spring semesters, and complete the field project in the summer. If a student elects to take fewer credits per semester, then it will take longer to complete the program. University policy allows up to seven years to complete a program.
If I have an unrelated bachelor's degree, will I be accepted in the program?
Yes, if the GPA is at least 2.75. Depending on the undergraduate course of study, deficiency courses may be required.
Does the program offer evening classes so that I can continue to work full time?
Yes. All required courses are offered one evening per week. Many of the elective courses, including the Quality Management and Production Operations technical specialties, are offered Internet, independent study, and/or evenings. The Field Problem can be completed at your place of work.
