Thank you for applying to the MBA Program at Metro State! As part of the admissions process, you must provide the materials needed for either Option 1) Official GMAT or GRE Scores OR Option 2) MBA Math Scores.

If you choose Option 1, you will need to provide submit a copy of your scores via the BusinessCAS website. Ideal applicants will have achieved a score equal to or greater than the 51st percentile.

If you choose Option 2, you must achieve the minimum proficiency score in MBA Math for each of the lessons below. MBA Math is a self-paced, online course that covers skills in Accounting, Economics, Excel, Finance and Statistics and takes approximately 20–40 hours to complete.
