• Admission to the ME requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. If you have a GPA below a 3.0, you may be admitted based on documented potential.

Statement of Purpose

• You must submit a Statement of Purpose describing your interest in business studies. You will be judged on writing ability as well as statement content.

Letters of Reference

The password to access the entrance exam is DSUND-1001. The registration process will take five minutes, and the remaining exam questions will take approximately one hour.
• To ensure success within the MBA program, students that don't meet the baseline score in business fundamentals will be required to complete academic leveling courses in the four fundamental content areas of accounting, finance, management, and marketing. Academic leveling courses are abbreviated, intensive-study, on average one week in length per course, in the content area, and can be completed feasibly before full admission is granted. The cost of each leveling course is up to $49. If needed, you can begin taking a leveling course immediately following the completion of the ME Peregrine Entrance Examination.
