Free Form Requirements

MS IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT ADMISSIONS  

To be granted full admission for any graduate degree program, applicants must meet the requirements for Full Admission to the Graduate School along with any additional requirements for a specific degree.  Applications for admission to a master's program are processed by the Graduate Admissions Office in conjunction with the relevant Program Director. 

Some degree programs may include additional requirements for admission that are supplemental to the Graduate School’s requirements.  Admission to one graduate program does not guarantee admission to another.  

Full Admission 

Applicants who meet all of the criteria listed below may be granted full admission to the Graduate School.  

  1. A Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. 

  2. Evidence of sound moral character and compatibility with DBU's mission. 

  3. A likelihood of academic success as demonstrated by a GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all previous course work. 

  4. Two letters of recommendation from non-family members. 

  5. A current, professional résumé.  

Applicants seeking admission will be required to submit the following: 

  • A formal Application for Admission to pursue a specified master's degree program.  The application will ask applicants for a Statement of Purpose outlining reasons for seeking admission and showing compatibility with DBU’s mission. 

  • Official transcripts from each institution attended as an undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or graduate student. 

  • Two letters of recommendation from non-family members. 

  • A current, professional résumé. 

  • Any additional requirements requested by a specific degree program. 

Provisional Admission 

Applicants admitted under Provisional Admission must fulfill the conditions of this status as identified by the Master's Degrees Admission Committee in order to continue in the program past 12 hours. Students under Provisional Admission must maintain a 3.0 GPA and receive no grades below "B." Students admitted under Provisional Admission will be granted Full Admission upon successful completion of 12 credit hours and fulfillment of the conditions of their admission as determined by the Master's Degrees Admission Committee. 

In addition, the Master's Degrees Admission Committee will review the following criteria as it strives to take a holistic view of the applicant in order to determine the likelihood of success in the MSSCM program:  

·         A likelihood for academic success as demonstrated by a GPA of 3.0 or higher. (The Master's Degrees Admission Committee may take into consideration the student's trend performance across 60 hours of undergraduate coursework as it reviews undergraduate performance for students with a GPA of less than 3.0.) Therefore, students with a GPA lower that 3.0 are eligible for provisional admission only.

·         Five or more years of significant, substantive managerial/leadership experience that may be evidenced through a combination of résumé review, applicant interview, work portfolio, employer recommendations, and a professional certification.

·         12 hours of graduate work from an accredited institution with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
