You may call the LSU Graduate School or the Flores MBA Program office at 225-578-8867 between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm (CST).

Only the One-Year program requires an undergraduate degree in business. For all other MBA program formats, your undergraduate degree can be in any field. 49% of our students hold non-business undergraduate degrees, including education, engineering, journalism, geography, political science, criminal justice, kinesiology, and history. 

You may apply at any time, but you cannot be admitted until test scores (if required) have been submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions and the program office has received the appropriate scores. Likewise, you may submit your references after applying. Sending all your documents as early as possible will increase your chance of bettering other competitive candidates and being admitted. 

You can apply for the GMAT test at the official GMAT website or the official GRE website. These resources provide free test-prep software and helpful test-taking strategies. You can also purchase review guides from the websites.

The GMAT program code for the LSU Graduate School is 6373.

Prior work experience is not required for those applying to the Full-Time and One-Year programs. Executive MBA Flex and Online MBA program students must have at least three years of work experience. 

Students accepted to the full-time and one-year programs are automatically considered for the scholarships awarded through the E. J. Ourso College of Business. Scholarships are awarded based on need and/or prior academic performance.

No, we do not accept credits from other institutions. This means it is not possible to start your degree at one institution and transfer to LSU. Students must need to start the program with the incoming class. Credits from other graduate programs at LSU are accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please call the office at 225-578-8867 if you are in this position and need to discuss your options.

Students cannot take MBA core courses before their official matriculation period.
