Date Posted: - 6/15/2006

Information Systems undergraduates in UMBC’s Business Technology Administration (BTA) program who are interested in continuing their education with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree may consider the University of Maryland – College Park MBA through new cooperative arrangements with the UMCP’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.

Undergraduates completing UMBC's Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Technology Administration will receive a preferential review for admission to the University of Maryland - College Park's part-time MBA program that is offered at several locations including Baltimore if they satisfy the following criteria:

• Completion of UMBC's MBA Preparatory Studies Certificate
• An undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher
• A GMAT score of 640 or higher
• Applicants must be employed full-time prior to admission to the MBA program

The Master of Business Administration program at College Park is considered to be the flagship MBA of the state’s university system. Information Systems’ Business Technology Administration (BTA) undergraduates at UMBC will now have more direct graduate education track options to the College Park MBA, based initially on the exemplary academic credentials UMBC’s BA in this field of study affords.
