Jim
L. Tarter, Dean
The
College of Business and Technology offers the following graduate degrees:
Master of Business Administration

Cooperative Doctoral Degree
MASTER
OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Mary
Fischer, Coordinator of Business Graduate Programs
The basic
objective of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program
is to offer men and women an opportunity to develop leadership in an increasingly
complex and dynamic business society by enhancing their knowledge, managerial
skill, and perspective. The broad, integrated curriculum provides the
student with an opportunity to gain understanding of the major facets
of business operations. The program includes work in the theoretical foundations
of business, quantitative controls, decision-making through the development
of advanced functional skills, and the social and ethical environment
of business. An opportunity is also provided for a limited degree of specialization.
The degree is delivered both on campus and by way of the internet through
the U.T. Tyler TeleCampus.
The program
is designed for graduates from recognized colleges of business as well
as graduates in liberal arts, science, engineering, or other fields desiring
to undertake professional studies in the area of business administration.
On campus courses in the program are offered in the early evening and
Saturday mornings as needed.
GRADUATE
DEGREE STUDENT
In addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate study,
the requirements to be a graduate degree student in business administration
are the following:
| A. |
Admission
to the M.B.A. degree program is determined primarily on the basis
of predictors of success in graduate study: a baccalaureate degree
from an accredited institution, grade point average computed on the
last 60 undergraduate hours, and a score on the Graduate Management
Admissions Test (GMAT). Consideration is also given to one or more
of the following: the applicant's demonstrated commitment to his or
her chosen field of study, socioeconomic background, and involvement
and level of responsibility in other matters including extracurricular
activities, employment, community service, first generation of family
to graduate from an undergraduate program, family responsibility of
raising children, multilingual proficiency, or geographic region of
residence. |
| B. |
Proficiency
in the use of the English language is critical to program success.
If a student's verbal score on the admission examination is
below an acceptable minimum, the student must pass an English proficiency
test during the first semester in the program. A foreign student must
score a minimum of 550 on the paper-based or 213 on the computer-based
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and have a minimum raw
score of 50 on each of the three sections of the examination. Only
the TOEFL examination given by the Educational Testing Service is
acceptable. The student will be notified by the Business Graduate
Programs Coordinator if he/she has or has not successfully satisfied
this requirement. |
| C. |
No
more than twelve semester credit hours of graduate credit earned prior
to acceptance into the program, including transfer credit, may be
applied to the MBA degree. Students seeking admission to the MBA program
who have not yet satisfied admission criteria will be considered provisional.
Provisional students must earn a grade of B or better in all work
attempted. A provisional student who earns a grade of C or lower will
be denied admission to the Program. |
| D. |
After reviewing all credentials (official transcripts, GMAT score,
other relevant information), the Business Graduate Programs Coordinator
will determine if the student may be accepted into the MBA program.
A
degree plan will be prepared by the business graduate program coordinator
in collaboration with the student. A letter will then be sent, notifying
official acceptance into the MBA program.
|
| E. |
Credit
or the equivalent of the following subject areas is required. Computer
and statistical literacy must be demonstrated by completing an undergraduate
course in each discipline or other evidence of competency. All equivalent
methods of satisfying subject area requirements must be approved by
the Business Graduate Programs Coordinator or the dean. |

*Six semester credit hours are required in each area, economics and accounting,
unless the student substitutes ECON 5300 for the economic environment,
and ACCT 5300 for accounting.
Although a student may not have completed all baccalaureate work at the
time of application, a decision will be made on the strength of the student's
permanent record before the student can be enrolled as a graduate student
in business.
The student must maintain a 3.0 grade point average (4.0 basis) on all
graduate work at UT Tyler. Students will be dismissed from the MBA program
if they accumulate grade deficiency points greater than three. Any grade
of "C" is worth one deficiency point, any grade of "D"
is worth two deficiency points, and any grade of "F" is worth
three deficiency points. Deficiency points may not be removed by additional
course work. Any course with a grade lower than "C" must be
retaken earning a grade of "B" or better.
Successful completion of MANA 5395, Strategy and Policy Formulation, will
constitute satisfaction of the comprehensive examination requirement as
required by university graduate policies.
TRANSFER
OF CREDIT
Subject to the approval of the Business Graduate Program Coordinator and
the dean of the College of Business Administration, a student may transfer
no more than six hours of graduate credit earned at an approved institution.
Graduate transfer credit over three years old at the time of admission
may not be used to meet degree requirements. Credit earned from correspondence
courses cannot transfer for graduate credit.

COOPERATIVE
DOCTORAL DEGREE
The Department of Technology at The University of Texas at Tyler (UT Tyler)
and Texas A&M University (TAMU) have a cooperative doctoral program
in Educational Human Resource Development. UT Tyler affords convenient access
to a doctoral program for a large number of professionals in the East
Texas area. This program meets a need and is offered with minimal costs
to the taxpayers of Texas.
The program
is an example of Cooperative Doctoral Programs as set forth in the Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board Guidelines. Texas A&M University
is the degree granting institution and is responsible for maintaining
the quality of the program. UT Tyler faculty joins with the Texas A&M
University faculty in delivering both required and elective courses. The
program has the same admission standards, core curriculum, specialization
options, research tools and dissertation requirements as those students
currently in existence within the Texas A&M University doctoral program.
Residency requirements can be met by taking courses at either campus and
in participating in two-way interactive video courses and Internet courses.
Faculty from the Department of Technology of UT Tyler will teach students
on site, team teach courses with TAMU faculty using distance learning
approaches, and are actively involved in advising. A site coordinator
from TAMU oversees the cooperative doctoral program. This individual periodically
conducts on-site visits in Tyler in order to coordinate the site and to
ensure a seamless and transparent doctoral experience for all participating
students.
Dissertations
are co-chaired by TAMU faculty and UT Tyler, Department of Technology,
faculty. Students will go through the program in cohort groups of between
five and ten students each year. Students may elect to take up to 21 hours
of credit from the Department of Technology at UT Tyler to apply to the
64 hours necessary to complete the Ph.D.
