Admissions Policy
Cardean's goal is to provide the best business knowledge to working professionals around the world. In keeping with that goal, our admissions process is designed to be accessible to everyone, identifying and admitting those professionals who will add value to our community of learners.

Neither the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) nor the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) are required. Students may submit their scores to help Cardean’s admissions decision.

Requirements
Admission to the Cardean M.B.A. program is restricted to those who have an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution or its equivalent. Additionally, students must have:
  • A basic familiarity with business concepts and terminology.
  • Fluency in reading and writing English to clearly communicate views about related subject matter in a professional setting.
  • Analytical ability to interpret and solve business problems.
To ensure students meet those requirements, the following are required as part of the admissions process:
1. A completed application form. An application form can be downloaded from the Cardean web site.
2. Official transcripts from an undergraduate institution or equivalent.
3. Evidence of successful completion of a bachelor’s degree.
4. Grades of mastery or exemplary in two Mastery courses taken prior to admission. You can enroll in courses at any time without being admitted to the program. Successful completions will count towards your M.B.A. credit requirements.
5. Interview with an academic advisor, who will contact you upon receipt of the applications form.

Costs
Students pay tuition for the M.B.A. Program on a course-by-course basis. Each one-credit Mastery course currently costs US$500, payable with a credit card during enrollment. Students are required to successfully complete 45 credits, bringing the current tuition cost of a Cardean M.B.A. to US$22,500. Tuition costs do not include Internet access, textbooks, or other course material where required.
