Candidates whose Bachelor's degree was not earned in an approved English language country must submit either the TOEFL exam (minimum score of 80 IBT) or IELTS exam (minimum band score of 6.5).

The GMAT requirement for MSF program admission consideration at UMass Dartmouth is waived if the applicant proves, to UMass Dartmouth's satisfaction, any of the following:

An earned baccalaureate degree (or the equivalent of a USA baccalaureate degree) in any major/discipline from an accredited college/university with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 on a 4.00 scale.
An earned terminal graduate degree (PhD, MD, JD, etc.) from an accredited institution.
Licensure in the United States as a Certified Public Accountant or Certified Financial Planner. Other similar certification programs may also qualify for this waiver at the discretion of UMass Dartmouth.
At least five (5) years of managerial/supervisory work experience.
An earned Graduate Certificate from the Charlton College of Business at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30
Applicants whose GMAT requirement is waived may still be required to take Foundation courses prior to beginning the MSF coursework.
