Doctoral Level MBA Math Requirement

Thank you for applying to the DBA 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) Doctoral-level 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 Doctoral-level MBA Math for each of the lessons below. The Doctoral-level 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. You can return to the material as often as needed during the one-year subscription period, so it serves as an online tutorial after admission to the DBA, should you feel you need to review.
