Application requirements are simple: NO GMAT or GRE Required. Bachelor’s degree with an overall GPA of 2.75, a Personal statement stating why you want to join this program, Current Resume, English proficiency exam: IELTS/TOEFL, 1 Letter of recommendation, and finally each candidate will be required to participate in a brief interview with the MSEI program director and/or faculty.
This is what Matt List , a local business owner and a member of the inaugural MSEI program has to say about his MSEI experience, “The MSEI program was an excellent fit for a working professional and business owner such as myself. Perhaps the biggest gift that I received was the faculty and staff that helped me along on this journey of getting my Masters. This program was a great opportunity for an "older" student to jump back into the arena of schooling. At, first I was overwhelmed but the support you receive from the staff and faculty is what made the difference for me. My advice to new applicants is - Jump in you will be just fine because you have an awesome team surrounding you dedicated to your success.”
Fellow MSEI cohort member, Brittney Howard , also expressed the value the program has provided, “The MSEI program has been an amazing experience. The MSEI professors have the ability to teach entrepreneurship theoretically and through real-life experience; they have no reservations about sharing the details of their successes. What I really appreciate is their ability to share their failures and the mistakes made before the success….it can be hard, it can be time-consuming but that old saying, 'Fall seven times get up eight. If you are willing to take the risk and willing to learn the process of becoming an entrepreneur then this program is for you. A plan backed by action, makes your dreams come true.' - Greg Reid."
Aaron Brill , current MSEI accelerated track student, former professional baseball player, and Founder of Baseball Brilliance states,
“The MSEI program has been exactly what I was looking for in a graduate program and more. Not coming from a traditional business background, but having interest and experience with entrepreneurship, left me wanting a program more all-encompassing in helping me continue my current journey of discovering my version of financial freedom via entrepreneurship. I wanted to be sure I was going to be learning and taking actionable steps towards achieving my goals and the MSEI program’s ability to put me in direct contact with established entrepreneurs and businesses owners as professors and other aspiring entrepreneurs as classmates have done precisely that.”
