The mid-career admission option is applicable to the EMBA, MBA, M.ADMIN, MHRM and MCERT programs, and is designed for those applicants who do not hold a 4 year undergraduate degree, but have substantial management experience.

To qualify for this admission option, applicants must have at minimum eight to ten years of relevant mid-management experience and meet all other admission requirements of the program. Mid-career managers must meet the program's qualifying course requirements before beginning graduate courses if they have not been completed prior to acceptance.

Accepted students have three semesters (one calendar year) to begin their program.

As students have one (1) full calendar year to begin classes, requests for deferrals are done on a case by case basis.

Qualifying courses do not have to be completed before application to the program. If applicants are accepted into the program and they have not completed the necessary qualifying courses they will be required to complete those courses with a GPA in each course of 70% or greater prior to beginning graduate level courses.

Qualifying students can complete up to one (1) graduate level course before completing all required qualifying courses.

Fully qualified students (those students who have completed all qualifying courses) have six (6) years to complete their graduate program.
