Prerequisites

In addition to a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, applicants are required to satisfy two prerequisites prior to enrollment: college-level mathematics and statistics.

Both prerequisites must be completed by August 8, 2008 for Fall 2008 applicants.

A. College-Level Mathematics

The mathematics prerequisite can be fulfilled in one of the following three ways:

  1. Recent Coursework
    Applicants can meet the prerequisite with one course in mathematics within the last five years (fall 2003 to summer 2008). Applicants must have earned a grade of "B" or better. Prerequisite courses may be taken at any accredited community college, college or university, or through UC Extension. View a PDF of approved courses in your area.
  2. Waiver Exam
    We offer the waiver exam as a courtesy to applicants who may not have taken formal courses in mathematics but have gained the skills through work experience or self-study. The waiver exams will be offered January through May each year. View a PDF of exam topics and study guides.
  3. GMAT score
    Applicants who have scored in the 80th percentile or above on the quantitative section of the GMAT will automatically satisfy the prerequisite in college-level mathematics.
