How to Apply:
Master in Business Administration Online
Along with your completed application accompanied by $50 non-refundable application fee, you’ll need to provide a few supporting materials. Because there’s lead time required for some items, here’s a step-by-step process that seems to work best for candidates:
Complete your online or paper application. While you wait for your transcripts to be processed, you can begin your online application,
which lets you build, edit and save sections of your application along
the way. Or you can apply with our downloadable MBA application.
If you would like an application mailed to you, please email
or call our Graduate Coordinator at
1-888-ALVERNIA extension 6.
Order your official transcript(s). Official transcript(s)
indicating that the applicant has earned an appropriate baccalaureate
degree from an accredited college or university. Transcripts from all
institutions are required. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a
4.0 scale for all previous undergraduate and graduate work is required
for full acceptance.
Three letters of recommendation. Letters are accepted from former
professors, employers, or supervisors familiar with the applicant’s
professional experiences, or from religious or community leaders.
Personal Statement. One-page personal statement
that summarizes the value of the program of graduate study for his/her
personal and professional growth and development.
Scores from a graduate entrance exam. Scores submitted from a
graduate entrance exam such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE),
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), or the Miller Analogies Test
(MAT). This requirement will be waived for Alvernia alumni, and other
students who have earned bachelor’s degrees five years or more prior to
submitting an application.
Professional Resume.
Interview with the MBA program coordinator. After all the
required application materials have been received, each applicant will
be contacted to arrange for a personal interview.
