        • Admissions

          Requirements
          You must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college. Although, a four-year equivalent collegiate educational program is required, the Graduate School will determine whether non-traditional programs are acceptable. Appropriate work experience is desired but not required.

          Current Auburn University graduate students who are not enrolled in the Master of Science degree in Supply Chain Management are also eligible to apply.

          How to Apply
          Start your application on the Graduate School Online Application. The following materials should be uploaded with your application:

          - Professional resume
          - Unofficial transcripts from every institution attended (official transcripts will be required for students accepted into the program)
          - GMAT/GRE scores are not required.

          Deadlines
          International applicants should submit all required materials at least 90 days before the first day of class of the semester in which the student wishes to begin graduate study. Domestic students should submit all materials at least 45 days before the first class day. However, most academic units make admission decisions several months in advance. Thus, applicants should check with the department to which they seek admission to determine when materials should be submitted. Contact April Hurley at ash0008@auburn.edu for more information about deadlines.
