College of Business Administration
: MBA Admission Information

The Admissions Committee reviews applications on an individual basis looking at both quantitative and qualitative aspects of an applicant's professional and academic background. The committee seeks to assess an individual's potential for academic success and future professional growth.

Applicants are considered for admission on the basis of the following criteria:

1. Undergraduate record - minimum GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale;
2. Scores on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) - minimum total score of 450 and minimum score of 20 in the verbal section and 20 in the quantitative section;
3. Managerial, professional and leadership potential as exhibited by extracurricular activities, work and/or research experience, and community service;
4. Statement of Purpose describing long-term goals and objectives.

Application Checklist

All applicants to the MBA program must submit the following documents to the UT Graduate School:

1. A $45 non-refundable application fee.  Checks should be made payable to The University of Toledo.
2. Completed application for graduate admission.
3. Statement of Purpose. Individuals are strongly encouraged to type their statement of purpose on a separate sheet of paper and include the statement with their application. The statement must be typed, double-spaced, and have the applicant's name and intended program on each page.
4. 1 official and 2 unofficial transcripts from each collegiate institution attended other than The University of Toledo.  The official transcript must be sealed and signed across the flap by an appropriate administrator or collegiate office.
5. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) results. Test results should be no more than 5 years old. Official scores must be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to the Graduate School. In the meantime, we can process your application using the unofficial copy of your scores (which you receive immediately following your test).  You can send the unofficial results to the MBA office through the mail, or fax them to us at 419-530-7260.
6. Three letters of recommendation that should be completed by individuals who are able to comment on your qualifications for graduate study in business. Recommendations from friends, family members, or acquaintances are unacceptable and will not be reviewed.
7. International students must submit the results of their TOEFL examination with a minimum score of 550 (Paper Based) or 213 (Computer Based).  However, if an international student earned their undergraduate degree from a U.S. university, they do not have to submit TOEFL results.
8. All international students must also demonstrate that they have adequate financial resources for their graduate education before they can be admitted. International students are required to complete a Financial Statement and must enclose supporting documentation.

The Graduate School's address is:

The University of Toledo

2801 West Bancroft Street

We strongly recommend that you send all of your application material to the Graduate School in one package so that the application materials can be processed together, minimizing any delays that may occur in the application process.
