Because of the desirability of an MBA degree and the excellent reputation of the University of Richmond , the number of applications from highly qualified individuals has risen substantially. At the same time the number of openings in the p rogram has not increased. Therefore , admissions are very selective and quite comp e titive.

Finally, you should note that applicants are required to have at least two years of relevant work experience since completing the baccalaureate degree.
I hope this information will help you as you consider applying to the MBA program. Please feel free to call our office if you have any questions .

MBA PROGRAM
Graduate study in Business Administrationat the University of Richmond is designed for professionals who hold either business or non-business undergraduate degrees. The MBA degree program is a decision-based course of study that provides students with the ability to advance to higher levels of management in all types of organizations.
The non -business undergraduate major, and the business major who completed undergraduate courses more than five years priorto enrollment in the MBA program, progress through a series of foundation courses which provide the background to advance to the MBA core sequence. This initial set of intense courses covers all the basic functions of business and also includes the decision-making tools that are applied in most of the core courses.
Theund ergraduate business major (who hasgraduated within five years of matriculation in the MBAprogram and has credit for all foundation subjects) begins the core study with MBA 511 and MBA 515,and completes the core by applying the acquired knowledge and skills in the MBA capstone course, MBA 580 - Business Policy and Strategy.
The degree is completed by the selection of two ele ctives toward the end of the program.These courses offer the student an opportunity for specialization or to address some of the current and challenging issues facing organizations in today's turbulent business e nvironment.
to provide students with the knowledge and tools to deal with contemporary business challenges.
- to provide an educational environment that allows students to interact with peers who work in a broad range of companies and industries.

ACADEMIC
PROCEDURES
Registration
In registering for courses, students are reminded that the set of foundation courses isto be comp leted before attempting other work.Moreover, it is presumed that studentsenrolle d in advanced-level courses willhave the necessary academic background.
Studentssha ll register each term according to the instructions published by The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School and theRegistrar.A calendar is published concurrentlywith pertinent dates.
Once reg istered, students may change theirregistration (drop/add) according to thepublished schedule. For a regular term, generally ad ds and withdrawals without academic reco rd may be made during the firsttwo wee ks of classes. After that time onlywithdrawals-with-record are possible Thegrade to be recorded during the withdrawal-with-record period is left to the instructor's discretion.
To initiate changes in registration , the student sho uld contact The Richard S. ReynoldsGraduate School Office promptly.
Limits of Work
A part-time MBA student may enroll in either3 or 6 hours per semester. Part-time students sho uld consider requirements of theiremployers when scheduling academic classes.
A full-time student carries from 9 to 12 semesterhours in one semester. The maximum load for a graduate student is 12 semesterhours in one semester.
Allfull-timestudents are urged to bear in mind that graduate work requires much more time an d effort for reading, research, and organization of material than does undergraduate work. Every effort should be
made to limit outside work of every sort. If outside employment is an economic necessity for a full-time student, that student must consult the Director concerning the advisability of limiting his or her academic load.
Class Attendance
Each student is expected to attend all meetings of the courses in which he or she is enrolled. However, the specific attendance policy in each course of study is determined by the instructor.
A student may be held responsible for the work of a class missed. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence and any provision for make-up will be at the discretion of the instructor. Missed classes , work , or tests may result in a poorer grade , or failure, in the course (see V grade below).
Credit and Grades
The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School uses the semester hour credit value and the four-point grading system as applied to a normal A-F grading scale
A semester hour is the value of one class hour of work a week through the semester. Grade points are given to each semester hour according to the following scale: A( 4) , B(3), G(2), IX)), AO), M(O), and v'(O). The grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of academic hours attempted. Each of these totals is accumulated term by term.
Special grades also are used as follows: V-failing due to excess absence, W~ withdrawn passing, M-withdrawn failing, and X-grade not received fr~m instructor. The V and M count as F m the grade point average computation.
Incomplete Work
Two other letters are used in reports for The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School students. I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The I, which counts as a failing grade in the grade point average, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies , but no later than the mid-term point of the next regular term. If the work is not made up during the grace period , the I will be converted to Funless the instructor has submitted to the Registrar a written request for delay until a specified date which has been approved by the Director.

There is no deadline for completion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In any case , it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course. Part-time students carrying a grade of I or Y may not enroll for further coursework without the permission of the Director.
