Master of Business Administration

Admissions

The MBA Graduate Studies Committee has three alternative sets of conditions that allow applicants to be admitted without review by the MBA Admissions Committee. The MBA Graduate Advisor reviews all applications and determines if they qualify for admission under one of these three sets of criteria. Applicants who do not satisfy the conditions for admission are referred to the MBA Admissions Committee for consideration.

Admission to the MBA program is based upon an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the record of one’s undergraduate academic performance (typically the last 60 hours of the GPA is used as calculated by Graduate Admissions*). A GMAT or GRE score is not the sole criterion for determining admission to the MBA program. An applicant can also be admitted to the program on probation with a GPA of 3.0 and passing scores of 85 percent or greater on three business subject area exams taken through a College of Business approved vendor.

A graduate grade point average is used when it is 3.0 or above and is based on at least 24 semester hours.

An applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate a sufficient level of skill with the English language to assure success in graduate studies as defined in the TOEFL and IELTS Test Score Minimums section under Admissions Requirements and Procedures the Graduate Catalog.

Unconditional Admission without Committee Review

Applicants qualify for unconditional admission without the need for review by the MBA Admissions Committee if they have a bachelor’s degree (with a GPA* of 3.0 or better) and take the GMAT scoring at least 500 with a 30^th percentile or higher in the verbal and quantitative areas. The GRE is accepted but the GMAT is preferred.  

Unconditional Admission without Committee Review (GMAT/GRE Waiver)

A waiver of the GMAT/GRE and unconditional admission will be considered for applicants who meet one of the following conditions:

• Have earned a 3.5 GPA (or higher) in two calculations (cumulative and last 60 hours) with an earned undergraduate degree from an AACSB (or EQUIS/AMBA) accredited school no more than seven academic years prior to the semester for which admission to the MBA is sought. 
• An earned graduate degree or a graduate certificate (at least 9 credit hours) from a professionally and/or regionally accredited school with a 3.0 GPA (or higher) for all graduate coursework.

Probationary Admission

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree and a GPA* of 3.0 or better who choose not to take the GMAT can be admitted to the MBA program on probation after earning passing scores of 85 percent or greater on three exams in Business Statistics (BSTAT), Economics (ECON), and Management (MANA) taken through a College of Business approved vendor. Modules are available in these areas for exam preparation. Retaking exams is permissible however successful completion of exams is required prior to admission. Upon successful completion of all three exams, the applicant will be admitted on a probationary basis to the MBA program.

Applicants with a bachelor's degree and a GPA* less than 3.0 may be admitted to the MBA program on probation by taking the GMAT or GRE and meeting minimum score requirements (as stated above).

If GMAT/GRE minimum scores and at least 3.0 GPA* are not met, the MBA Admissions Committee will review for admission decision.

Applicants admitted on a probationary basis must complete the first two semesters of the MBA program with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better to gain unconditional admission.

Provisional Admission

An applicant unable to supply all required official documentation prior to the admission deadline but otherwise appears to meet admission requirements may be granted provisional admission. Complete and satisfactory credentials must be received by Graduate Admissions before the end of the semester in which the student has registered in a provisional status.  Provisional admission does not guarantee subsequent admission on an unconditional basis.

Deferred and Denied Admission

A deferred decision may be made when an applicant’s file is not sufficiently complete to make an admission decision, or when an applicant needs to improve certain criteria to enhance their competitive status for future admission consideration.  For an applicant lacking sufficient evidence to indicate potential for academic success as an MBA student, admission will likely be denied. All applicant data will be carefully reviewed before an admission denial is made.  The decision to defer/deny admission is not based on any single criterion.

Scholarship Information

Students unconditionally admitted, have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 as calculated by Graduate Admissions (or 3.0 at the graduate level), and enroll for a minimum of six semester credit hours will be eligible to apply for available fellowships and/or scholarships.  A standardized test score (GMAT or GRE) will not be used as the sole criterion for determining fellowship and/or scholarship opportunity.

MBA Requirements

The MBA program is designed to accommodate both full-time and part-time students from business and non-business backgrounds. It is not necessary to have completed prior academic work in business administration to gain admission to the program. Students who are admitted unconditionally will complete a 36 credit hour program without the need for background instructional content.

Substitutions

At the MBA Advisors discretion, a course substitution may be provided in the MBA if a student holds an undergraduate degree in an area of study that aligns with an MBA core course.  A prerequisite is considered fulfilled when the student is granted a substitution of that specific required course.  Required courses may not be taken as electives in the program.

MBA Coursework

There are 36 hours of required courses.  The fifteen hours of electives allows the student an opportunity to tailor studies to enhance a career interest.

Grade and Graduation Requirements

The MBA program follows the grade requirements for probation as specified under the general regulations of the Graduate Catalog. In addition, students must have at least a 3.0 grade point average in all coursework and area of concentration to graduate.

Executive MBA Program

The Executive MBA (EMBA) program offers high-quality graduate management education to experienced professionals, managers, and executives. The program covers all functional areas of business, and emphasizes the integrated application of management tools and techniques in modern business organizations.  Focus areas include include globalization, leadership in a diverse world, analytics for decision processes, innovation and entrepreneurship, environmental sustainability, and corporate social responsibility.

The program applies a 15-month, cohort-based format to a lock-step, fixed curriculum.  The schedule of classes follows an accelerated weekend-based format.  The students, who are usually fully employed, enter the program as a group and progress through the sequence of courses together.

Course content is delivered by senior faculty, with most having extensive industry experience.  Guest speakers are featured for industry and technical expertise.  Instructors use methods that maximize student interaction and connect classroom discussion directly to each student’s job and career situation.

Executive MBA (EMBA)-International Option

The Executive MBA program is designed to provide high-quality, graduate management education to mid-level and upper-level managers and executives. The program covers all functional areas of business management and has an international focus in its course offerings. Other program content themes may include project management, total quality management, strategic resource alignment, leadership, entrepreneurship, big data or other specific areas as determined by the local needs and demand.

The program provides an opportunity for experienced professionals to obtain a master's degree in Business Administration on a schedule that minimizes disruption of work and personal pursuits. It includes a cohort class structure that offers a lock-step, planned curriculum in an executive setting. In other words, members of each class begin the program at the same point, move through the curriculum together, and typically complete the degree requirements for graduation as a group. Executive MBA students are required to complete their degrees in two years or less.

The program consists of 12 courses (36 credit hours). A single course is offered every 6-8 weeks.

Criteria for Admission

The EMBA admission process takes a holistic view of the candidate to determine the likelihood of success in the program and the extent to which each candidate will contribute to the overall success of the class. Factors taken into account in evaluating a candidate include:

Dual Degree Option

Students may pair the MBA degree with a specialized graduate degree.  Students requesting the dual degree program must be admitted to each participating program. The number of hours that may be used jointly will be determined by the total number of hours required by both degree programs. Dual degree programs are available at the master's level only.

Joint Degree: Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Business Administration

The program is designed to prepare students for careers as managers with specific knowledge of the biomedical science field. Students are required to take courses from life sciences, business, and liberal arts, culminating in a joint Master of Business Administration degree (MBA), including a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. The curriculum is offered jointly by the College of Business and the College of Science. The BS in Biology will be conferred at the same time as the MBA. If students in this joint degree program are not accepted into the MBA program, or if they enter the MBA program and fail to complete the MBA requirements, then, in order to earn a BS in Biology they must take the same, full complement of courses required for a BS as students not enrolled in the joint program.  Students interested in this integrated undergraduate and graduate degree plan should consult with the Biology undergraduate advisor. If eligible for the program, their Biology undergraduate advisor will direct them to contact Graduate Business Services. Application procedures will be discussed at that stage. *Note: This program is not currently accepting applications.

PhD in Business Administration

Admission

Admission to the PhD program is based upon the completion of the general admission requirements of Graduate Admissions. For PhD program admission, a score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and a record of undergraduate and master level academic performance are required. Students for whom English is not their native language must achieve a TOEFL score of at least 550. The TOEFL cannot be waived, even when a student has a Master's degree from a US university.  International applicants that score below minimum acceptable levels on the verbal portion of entrance examinations may be admitted under the condition that they pass an English proficiency exam or complete UT Arlington’s Graduate English Skills Program prior to beginning graduate coursework. Applicants are encouraged to submit a résumé with their application that highlights professional and personal accomplishments, linguistic abilities, computer expertise and leadership experience. A statement of purpose which describes the applicant's academic and work background, research interests, and reasons for applying to the UTA PhD program is required as part of the application.

Multiple criteria are used to make admission decisions. Quantitative measures include an applicant’s GMAT or GRE score and grade point averages on undergraduate and master level courses as calculated by the Graduate Admissions. No formula is used nor weights assigned to these factors. There are no set minimum scores for GMAT or GRE required for admission and no cutoff scores on grade point averages.  A standardized test score (GMAT or GRE) is not used as the sole criterion for an applicant’s admission decision.

PhD admission decisions are made by a committee headed by the major field coordinator for the track that an applicant wishes to specialize in (Management, Finance, etc.).  These committees typically give consideration to many factors (educational objectives, letters of recommendation, etc.) in addition to quantitative metrics to arrive at a decision. All students who wish to have a strong application for a PhD program are encouraged to gain research experience through activities such as working as a research assistant for a faculty member, writing a master's thesis, and/or presenting papers at academic conferences.  Strong performance in courses in research methods and advanced statistics are also viewed positively. Students who wish to learn more about the admission process for a particular area of business administration are encouraged to contact the major field coordinator for that area.   

Categories of Admission Decisions

An applicant is unconditionally admitted when all factors for consideration indicate very strong potential for academic success as a business doctoral student. When multiple factors indicate lack of potential, admission will be denied. Probationary admission is not available for the doctoral program.

A provisional decision to admit may be granted when the applicant meets criteria for unconditional admission but an item of applicant information has not been received by the Graduate Admissions (e.g., official test scores have not arrived).  A deferred decision may be made when an applicant’s file is not sufficiently complete to make an admit or deny decision.

University and College Fellowship/Scholarship Awards

Doctoral students who are newly admitted, have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 as calculated by Graduate Admissions (and 3.0 at the graduate level), and enroll for nine semester credit hours will be eligible for available Dean's Doctoral Assistantship (DDA),fellowship and/or scholarship support. A standardized test score (GMAT or GRE) is not used as the sole criterion for determining fellowship and/or scholarship eligibility.

Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.25 in the PhD program to keep any DDA, fellowship and/or scholarship support.  Students whose GPA falls below 3.25 can petition through their Area Coordinator and the PhD Program Director for a one semester probationary period to raise their GPA to the 3.25 level or above.  If this is granted, the student will continue his/her DDA during that probationary semester.  If the student's GPA is not above 3.25 after the probationary semester, the student will no longer be eligible for fellowships, scholarships, or DDA positions. 

Degree Requirements

All students must complete work in a major area field and a research field. Some major courses may be external to the College of Business, if deemed appropriate by the student's advisor.   Examples include industrial engineering, mathematics, computer science, sociology, and psychology. Students admitted to the PhD program will choose courses in consultation with their major field coordinator, who serves as their academic advisor for the first two years of the program.  

The following minimum semester hours must be included in the student’s Program of Study.

Minimum Hours

	Minimum Semester Hours
Business Foundation	0-121
Major Field Seminar	12
Other Major Field Coursework	12
Research Field	12
Dissertation	18

1	From 0-12 hours may be required of some students, depending upon the student’s background (i.e., previous graduate coursework) at the time of admission to the doctoral program.

Annual Progress Evaluations

All doctoral students are expected to show steady progress toward their degree and to demonstrate satisfactory advances in their ability and motivation to conduct independent research throughout their program. During a student’s program, a progress evaluation will be conducted near the end of the first year, but no later than 24 credit hours. After the first year, an annual progress evaluation will take place each subsequent year. The evaluation will be conducted by the major field coordinator/PhD advisor in consultation with a faculty committee. If the student has not yet passed all comprehensive examinations or does not have a formal dissertation committee, the faculty committee will consist of the PhD Committee for the major area. If the student has passed all comprehensive examinations and has a formal dissertation committee, the faculty committee will consist of the Dissertation Committee.

Upon completion of the evaluation, a recommendation of continuation or discontinuation in the program is made to the College of Business PhD program director for a final decision. When a discontinuation decision resulting from the first year diagnostic evaluation is made, the student will immediately be discontinued in the PhD program. For a discontinuation decision in the annual progress review in the second year and beyond, the student will be placed on probation for one regular semester (Fall or Spring) during which he or she must demonstrate satisfactory improvement in his/her performance. At that time the major field coordinator/PhD advisor in consultation with the faculty committee, and the PhD program director, will make a final decision on whether the improvements are satisfactory. An unsatisfactory decision at that time will result in the immediate discontinuation of the student in the PhD program.

During the annual progress reviews, reasons for poor performance include: grade point averages below minimum GPA requirements, unsatisfactory progress in completing coursework, unsatisfactory progress in completing dissertation, and inadequate demonstration of ability and motivation to conduct independent research.

All students must maintain a GPA of 3.25 or higher to remain in good standing in the PhD program.  Students whose GPA falls below 3.25 will be given a one-semester probationary period to raise their GPA to the 3.25 level or above.  If after that one semester passes, the student's GPA is still below 3.25, the student will be dismissed from the program.  Any student who earns three grades of  C in the PhD program will be immediately dismissed from the program. 

Comprehensive Examinations

Students must demonstrate competence in their fields of study by the successful completion of comprehensive examinations. Written comprehensive examinations in each field will be given at the start of each fall and spring semester of each year and may be given during the summer term. A student is eligible for a written comprehensive examination when that student has completed:

1. Any Business Foundation courses with a GPA of at least 3.25 and
2. prescribed coursework in the field with a GPA of at least 3.25.

If a student fails a written comprehensive examination and continues in that field, the examination must be retaken by the end of the next long semester. If a student fails a second comprehensive examination, that student will not be permitted to continue in the PhD program.

When a student successfully completes the written comprehensive examination, that student should schedule a comprehensive oral examination which is administered by the student’s Supervisory Committee. A student who fails the comprehensive oral examination is given a second oral examination within 12 months of the date of the first examination. If a student fails the second comprehensive oral examination, that student will not be permitted to continue in the PhD program.

Upon successful completion of written and oral comprehensive examinations, the student is admitted to candidacy.

Dissertation

The Dissertation Committee consists of a minimum of three members, at least two of whom must be from the major field. There is no maximum number of faculty members that can serve on a committee, although committees of more than five are unusual.  The chair of the Dissertation Committee must be from the major field. At least one member of the committee must be from outside the department - either from outside the major field at UTA or a nationally or internationally recognized non-UTA scholar.  Any committee member from outside UTA must receive approval from the Graduate Dean. 

The dissertation must be completed within four years of the oral comprehensive examination.
