APPLY NOW

Step 2. Submit Your Required Materials

Undergraduate Transcripts

A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in the U.S. or proof of equivalent training at a foreign university is required. Transcripts are required only from degree-granting institutions of bachelor's and higher degrees. The transcript from the institution you graduated from must show proof of degree. Transcripts are not required for transfer credits.

Unofficial Transcripts

Unofficial copies of transcripts and test scores are acceptable for the evaluation process. You can upload unofficial copies of transcripts with your application.

Official Transcripts

If the Business School approves your application for admission, you will need to send official transcripts in order to complete the admission process and be eligible for future course registration.

It may take some time for your official transcripts to reach Baylor. If you are submitting your application close to or on the application deadline date, we encourage you to submit official copies of transcripts with your application. Baylor students and graduates need to request a Baylor transcript from the Registrar's Office: Request Baylor transcripts.

Review the delivery instructions for official transcripts.

Resume

A detailed current resume, indicating professional work experience, including start and end dates (month and year) for each position held is required.

Two Letters of Recommendation

Include two professional letters of recommendation from employers or superiors who can attest to your talents, professional skills, work accomplishments and qualifications for consideration as a Baylor Online MSBA student. Submit contact information for your two references when completing your application.

GMAT/GRE

The GMAT or GRE is required for applications to the MSBA program unless you have four or more years of post-graduate work experience or have a 3.5 or higher undergrad GPA from an accredited university. NOTE: Unofficial copies of the test scores are acceptable for the evaluation process.

Exam Score Waiver

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for admission include:

  • Minimum 3 hours of statistics or QBA
  • Introduction to Python Programming*

*Applicants must possess a “working knowledge” of Python programming. This can come from classes taken while earning a degree or from practical work experience using Python. Additionally, students can enroll in a non-credit-bearing continuing education course or a professional development course. One such example would be Learning Python on LinkedIn.

Application Fee
There is no application fee for the Online MSBA program.

International Students

English Language Tests: All foreign national applicants are required to provide a score from the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE Academic test. Minimum scores are required.
