Financial Assistance
The College of Business and the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics offer financial assistance through a limited number of graduate assistantships and scholarships.

Awards are competitive and administered on a case-by-case basis.
GMAT/GRE**
Individuals seeking admission to the MBA in Agribusiness program may request a waiver of the GMAT/GRE requirement if they meet one of the following requirements:
- The applicant has a cumulative post-secondary GPA of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) from an accredited or otherwise recognized institution of higher education.
- The application has successfully completed two or more post-secondary degrees (bachelor's level or higher).
- The applicant holds a terminal degree (e.g., PhD, EdD, MD, JD, etc.).
- The applicant has substantial post-baccalaureate professional work experience (typically a minimum of five (5) years), including demonstrated leadership ability.
Appropriate documentation (i.e. official transcript(s), resume) is required to be uploaded to the application file. It does not, however, guarantee a waiver. Applicants requesting an exam waiver are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and waiver approval is determined at the discretion of the MBA program coordinator and/or director.
