How to Apply to the MBA Program
Applying to the MBA program at Wayne State College is easy. Just follow the steps below:
Step 1: Apply for graduate study at WSC
Application for graduate study at WSC precedes admittance into the MBA program. You must first apply to become a graduate student.
International Students
If you are an international student, please follow the international graduate student admission requirements. Please contact Amy Albrecht with the Office of Admissions for any questions regarding admission for international students at [email protected].
Step 2: Submit official transcripts
Request official transcript(s) for all college coursework be sent directly to:
Office of Admissions
Wayne State College
1111 Main Street
Wayne, NE 68787
International students should email them to Amy Albrecht at [email protected].
Your official transcript(s) must be original copies with the official seal of the institution and the degree statement. Transcripts must be sent directly to Wayne State College. Transcripts that are not received directly from the institution will not be accepted (they cannot pass through student hands). If you received your undergraduate degree from Wayne State, you do not have to request transcripts.
If your transcript is from an institution outside of the United States, we require an official evaluation transcript. Wayne State College offers a custom application at a discounted rate through SpanTran, our recommended evaluation service. If you choose to have your transcript evaluated by another institution, it must be a member of NACES.
Step 3: If required, complete MBA-specific course prerequisites
Graduate students entering the MBA program benefit from prior coursework in accounting, finance, economics, and statistics. If you have taken a class in each of these, you have already fulfilled the MBA-specific course prerequisites.
Accounting focus area prerequisites
For those pursuing the Accounting focus, two intermediate-level accounting courses or their equivalents need to be taken:
- BUS 347 Intermediate Accounting I (3 credit hours)
- BUS 348 Intermediate Accounting II (3 credit hours)
How it works
After you have been admitted, we review your transcripts to determine which prerequisites you have already met. If any are missing, you may still begin taking courses that do not require those prerequisites.
What if I have not completed all my prerequisites?
Prerequisites may be completed through prior coursework or by passing a Peregrine subject exam in the appropriate area with a minimum score of 75%. Each exam costs $44.
To register for a Peregrine subject exam, visit the Peregrine website and follow the on-screen instructions. Use the password WSCALC.
