CREDENTIAL INFORMATION
The bachelor's degree in Business Administration may be effectively combined with subject matter studies necessary for the single subject teaching credential in business. Undergraduates are encouraged to work with the department adviser and/or the Center for Careers in Teaching (714-278-7130) as early as possible in their academic careers to plan efficient course selections for general education, the major and electives. Postgraduate students should contact the Admission to Teacher Education office in the College of Education (714-278-3411) to obtain information on attending an overview presentation and orientation and then contact the department credential adviser.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE
The M.B.A. degree program is accredited by AACSB International. This assures a rigorous, in-depth program, covering the full spectrum of business administration. Accreditation also indicates a well-qualified faculty, high standards for students, access to computing and an extensive library system.

Programs of Study
The College of Business and Economics offers two plans for the M.B.A. degree.
The M.B.A. Generalist Plan is designed for students with little or no course work in business administration. The curriculum surveys the entire field of business administration, preparing students for general management responsibilities.

The M.B.A. Specialist Plan is designed for students with a recent undergraduate degree in business administration or for those who wish to include a specialized area of concentration in their curriculum. The areas of concentration are accounting, business economics, e-commerce, entrepreneurship, finance, information systems, international business, management, management science and marketing.

The M.B.A. program is scheduled especially for students who are employed full time. Courses are offered during the late afternoon and evening. Most students enroll on a part-time basis, taking two courses (6 units) per semester.

Most graduate courses in the College of Business and Economics require "classified CBE status" and are open only to students with classified standing in the M.B.A., M.S. in Accountancy, M.S. in Information Systems, M.S. in Taxation or M.A. in Economics programs.

Application Deadlines
The deadlines for completing online applications are March 1st for the fall semester and October 1st for the spring semester (see http://www.csumentor.edu). Mailed applications need to be postmarked by the same deadlines. However, deadlines may be changed based on enrollment projections. Check the university graduate studies website for current information at http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/.

Admission
Admission is competitive. Applicants will be evaluated based on the following:

1. Acceptable bachelor's degree from an appropriately accredited institution.
   
2. Minimum grade-point average of at least 2.5 in the last 60 semester units attempted and in good standing at last college attended.
   
3. Satisfactory score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Students must score in the top 50 percent on the verbal, quantitative and analytical writing areas.
   
4. For international students, a score of 570 on the paper exam or 230 on the computer based TOEFEL is required. A student scoring between 550 and 570 may be admitted conditionally depending upon an evaluation of the entire application file. The student may be required to complete a department approved course(s).
