Ready to APPLY?

Application is a two-stage process:

1. Apply to the University of Kentucky Graduate School. (You can apply online, or we can mail you an application packet.)

2. Apply to the Gatton College. Applicants can download the application form or request an application to be mailed by sending an e-mail request to drball01@uky.edu or by calling (859) 257-3592. The applicant's credentials, including graduate and undergraduate gradepoint averages, Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores, experience, and letters of recommendation will be evaluated for the applicant's potential for success in the program by the area Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) and an admission committee.

   Students must declare a major area of interest before their credentials will be evaluated. Applicants are evaluated generally according to the following rules:

   1. A minimum gradepoint average of 3.2 out of 4.0 is required on all previous graduate credits.

   2. The GMAT must be taken before admission, with a minimum score of 500.

   Each case is examined individually. Achievement of the minimum score, however, does not guarantee admission.

International applicants must
apply by February 1.

Domestic applicants are strongly
advised to apply by February 1.
