A Post-Baccalaureate Student is Subject to the Following Policies:

Post-Baccalaureate Status is accorded for two terms only to those students who wish to take preliminary courses for the Professional MBA program, but have not yet submitted an acceptable GMAT Score.  Post-baccalaureate students may register for foundation courses or undergraduate courses for which they have the prerequisites.  They may register for a course at the 600 level only by exception and with the specific permission of the PMBA advisor.  Post-Baccalaureate classification is a non-degree status that carries with it no implication that a student will be admitted to the Professional MBA program.  Post-Baccalaureate students are subject to the academic regulations and standards required of degree students.

 

To obtain Full-Degree Status, Post-Baccalaureate students must submit an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).

Official Transcript(s):

A Baccalaureate Degree from an accredited institution, with evidence of a strong academic record, is required for admission.

Transcripts from U.S. Institutions:  Official transcripts from ALL post-secondary institutions attended in the U.S. are required.  For a transcript to be considered official, it must either be sent by the institution directly to the McColl Professional MBA Admissions Office, or it must be submitted in the original, sealed envelope with the registrar's signature or seal on the back.  At our discretion, it may be possible to review your file using unofficial transcripts (for example, transcripts printed from your institution's website, photocopies, etc.).  However, any decisions reached will be contingent upon the timely receipt of official transcripts that exactly match the content of any unofficial transcripts submitted.

Transcripts from International Institutions:  An official transcript evaluation (not translation) from World Education Services (WES), or a similar well-established transcript evaluation provider, is required for ALL post-secondary institutions attended which are not located in the U.S.  A "course-by-course report" is required for graduate admission purposes.  The transcript evaluation is considered official if it is sent by the evaluation service directly to the McColl Professional MBA Admissions Office, or if it is submitted to the Admissions Office in the original, sealed envelope.
