Online MBA Admission

All applicants to the Online Masters of Business Administration program must possess a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution or the international equivalent prior to enrollment at the graduate level.

Candidates should submit the following documents with their Butler Application:

• Personal Statement

• Two Letters of Recommendation

• Official transcripts or copies of official transcripts from all colleges and universities where candidates:

  • Earned a degree

  • Earned more than 15 credits (undergraduate and graduate)

  • Completed any program prerequisite (regardless of number of credit hours)

  • Completed courses for which candidates are applying for transfer credit

• Current Résumé

• GMAT/GRE Scores

• Applicants must submit a $35 application fee. Early decision applicants are eligible to waive their application fee.

International applicants must additionally submit the following:

• TOEFL scores or equivalent proof of English proficiency

• A clear copy of your passport

• Evidence of financial support

• Transcripts

  • Copies of official transcripts may be uploaded in the online application for application review only. Applicants who receive an offer of admission will be required at that time to submit official final transcripts issued directly from the institution(s) for verification prior to enrollment. More information is available in the application for admission.

International students from non-English speaking countries must meet the minimum scores listed below:

• TOEFL = 213 (computer-based), 79 (internet-based), 550 (paper-based)

• IELTS = 6.0

• MELAB = 80

While we look at all submission components of an application, an acceptable GMAT or GRE score needs to be met for admission into the program, unless you meet the GRE/GMAT exemption criteria.

• The average GMAT score for students currently in the program is approximately 590.

• We will accept GRE scores that have been converted to a predicted GMAT score using the GRE Comparison Tool for Business Schools found on the GRE website. The GRE conversion must be on the 130–170 GRE Score Scale. A minimum Predicated GMAT Total Score of 500 or higher is required.

• We accept GRE and GMAT scores that have been taken within the past 5 years.

GMAT/ GRE scores for candidates who meet any one of the requirements listed below are eligible for an automatic exemption and will not need to fill out a waiver form.

• Applicants with an undergraduate cumulative college 3.0 GPA

• Four years of professional work experience

All GMAT/GRE waivers are considered on a case-by-case basis, and an approved waiver request does not guarantee admission to the program. You are welcome to submit your scores for consideration if you meet the exemption requirements.
