MBA @ RTP

The MBA @ RTP is an onsite program designed for working professionals who wish to develop skills and knowledge to advance their careers in the technology-focused business world. Students meet in a face-to-face format at a site in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) for most of their courses; some courses may be taken on campus at NCSU.

The curriculum is built around three elements: core courses, a specialized concentration, and open electives. Core courses include accounting, economics, finance, marketing, management, operations, and strategy. In addition, each student takes the unique Managerial and Career Effectiveness course to polish interpersonal and communication skills. The concentration requirement consists of three courses in a specialized business field that often includes working closely with a corporate client to solve real business problems.

Admissions:

Admission to the MBA program is highly competitive. You will need to demonstrate the following personal accomplishments and attributes:

• Strong intellectual performance and academic promise, evidenced by previous undergraduate and graduate work as well as GMAT scores
• An employment history demonstrating management potential through full-time work, volunteer, or military experiences
• Leadership skills, maturity, creativity, initiative and teamwork orientation
• A desire and willingness to learn about technology and the management challenges it creates

Please be aware that admissions decisions are based on a combination of the factors outlined above. Although your GPA and GMAT are important factors in your application, high scores in either or both of these areas do not guarantee admission.

Prerequisites:

• A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
• One course in calculus
• Two years of full-time, post-baccalaureate professional employment is strongly recommended for full-time applicants. Part-time applicants are required to have at least two years of full-time, post-baccalaureate professional employment.
