Meet all prerequisite requirements. In some instances, students who do not meet the above listed criteria may be granted admission. Those students must submit the application for admission, application fee, official transcripts, and for international students, also the financial certification form. If admitted, the student may enroll in prerequisite courses as well as up to three hours of graduate course work prior to completing the testing requirement and being fully admitted into the M.B.A. program. Drake teaching licensure and endorsement programs do not require admission to a master's, specialist or doctoral program, but they do require a student to follow the application procedures by filing an application and submitting official transcripts of prior course work.
Scores are generally valid for a period of five years.
In those instances, students will need to retake the examination. Special graduate standing also may be granted to a student who enrolls for graduate study only for cultural and professional advancement and not for a Drake University degree. Enrollment on this basis is not authorized to count toward a Drake degree program and is not granted by all Drake colleges and schools. Students applying to all other graduate programs must submit official test scores from the appropriate entrance examination as listed below and taken within the past five years. The Graduate Management Admission Test is required for the Master of Business Administration degree program and also may be used when applying to the Master of Science degree in training and development.
