Admission to the Master of Science (MS) Program

MS Conditional Admission
Applicants who meet one Capability Measure may be considered for Conditional Admission.

An applicant granted Conditional Admission must complete no less than six credit hours and no more than twelve before being considered for Full Admission status. He/she must maintain a 3.200 GPA for full admission into GSM and may not receive a grade of less than a B-.

Students may not move from the Certificate program to Conditional MS admission; they must meet two measures of capability in order to be considered for the MS.

MS Bridge Admission
Those wishing to apply for the MS program from countries offering a three-year bachelor's degree will be considered for the MS Bridge Program. Accommodating those otherwise ineligible to pursue an MS, the MS Bridge requires the completion of 43 credit hours with no eligibility for courses waivers or transfers. Applicants may either be admitted fully or conditionally based on the criteria above (however, the GPA will be calculated based on the cumulative undergraduate GPA, not on that of the last 60 hours).

MS/MBA Dual Degree Admission
The admission policy for the MS-MBA is the same as that of the MS, including prerequisite courses. There is no Foundation Admission into the MS-MBA.
