Admission to UNB Fredericton's general MBA program

MBA tuition fees are paid on a per-course basis. This means you will not be locked into a flat, per-term tuition fee. A portion of the tuition fee is used by the student-run MBA Society to enhance your MBA studies at UNB. Applications to the MBA program on the UNB Fredericton campus are accepted by UNB's School of Graduate Studies. The admission requirements for the general MBA program are as follows:

  • An undergraduate degree from a recognized university
  • A minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.0 or B
  • A minimum score of 550 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
  • For student's whose first language is not English, a minimum score of 580 (written) or 92 (Internet based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), as well as a minimum score of 4.0 on the Test of Written English (TWE)

NOTE: A course in economics is considered a prerequisite to the program. Students who have not completed a course in economics will be expected to take a remedial course at UNB.

In highly exceptional cases, an applicant to the MBA program who has not completed an undergraduate degree, but who has met all other requirements, may be considered for admission. The applicant is required to have a GMAT score of at least 600 and have a minimum of 10 years of full-time/extensive managerial or executive experience. The Faculty may take into account relevant professional credentials. Applicants also may be required to complete certain undergraduate courses before being considered for admission.

The MBA application package must include the following:

  • Statement of purpose
  • Resume
  • Three letters of reference
  • Official transcript(s)
  • GMAT score
  • TOEFL and TWE scores, if applicable
  • Application fee
