Program code: SMGT-MBA
Core I of the program consists of four undergraduate-level prerequisite courses that are designed to provide a foundation in the basic concepts and techniques used in the business and supply chain field and to prepare the student for the graduate courses in Core II. Core I requirements can be met by completing the prerequisite courses at IUP, by completing equivalent courses at other accredited universities/institutions, or through successful completion of College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests in these subjects (with a grade of “C” or better). At the time of admission, the MBA program coordinator will evaluate the academic transcripts of the student for Core I course waivers and give the student a plan for completion of courses needed for this stage. Course descriptions may be required to establish equivalency of courses completed elsewhere.
Core II of the program consists of 27 semester hours in courses that provide advanced knowledge in the functional and applied areas of business and supply chain management. Core III requires 12 semester hours of advanced course in supply chain management.
Admission Criteria
In addition to meeting admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and Research, students seeking enrollment in the MBA in SCM program must submit GMAT scores, undergraduate transcripts, and evidence of prior experience. Applicants with over three years of relevant experience need not submit GMAT scores. Admission decisions will be based on academic track record of the applicant, GMAT scores (if not waived), prior work experience, strength of recommendation letters, and clarity of goal statement presented by the candidate. International applicants may be required to submit a Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) score report as part of the MBA application.
