Application & Admissions
APPLICATION
Prospective students will declare their intent to enroll in the joint degree with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Truett Seminary and the Graduate Associate Dean of the Business School. Students will be required to make formal applications to each academic unit.
ADMISSION
Students have two options for starting their joint degree.
- Non-business undergrad majors will complete the MDiv educational program prior to entering the MBA program. As part of the admissions process for the MBA program, students applying for the joint degree will complete the GMAT or GRE 60 days before starting the MBA program. Once prospective students have been accepted into the MBA program, they will complete the Integrated Management System (IMS) course before taking the core business courses. Students taking IMS receive academic credit but do not earn a grade. Students must pass the IMS course in order to continue on with the MBA portion of the joint degree.
- Business undergrad majors have the option of starting either the MBA portion or the MDiv portion first. Students with an undergraduate degree in business are not required to take IMS. Master of Divinity students who fail to complete the requirements for the MBA portion of the joint degree, however, will be eligible to complete the MDiv degree in consultation with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Seminary.
SPECIAL ACADEMIC CONSIDERATIONS
Since both degrees are awarded simultaneously, all requirements in both schools must be completed in order to receive either degree.
