MBA Admission Requirements

Requirements to get into the MBA Program at Franklin

The admission process reflects Franklin University’s efforts at clearly identifying the performance standards that can help predict student success in graduate level study. The selection criterion for Franklin’s graduate programs, as determined by faculty, emphasizes academic ability, contributory work experience, and personal qualities and characteristics.

Requirements for admission include having earned a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a 2.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale (No particular previous course of study is required to apply). The candidate’s work history, references, and other personal qualities and characteristics will be considered as well.

If an applicant has earned a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution, but the GPA is below 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale), then an evaluation of the GMAT or GRE scores will be required. The candidate’s work history, references, and other personal qualities and characteristics will be considered as well.

Graduate General and Program Specific Requirements
