Students may also choose to begin earning their Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) by first completing the Certificate of Graduate Study (C.O.G.S.) in Management Information Systems (M.I.S.) The certificate of graduate study is also ideal for those who have not yet taken the Graduate Management Admission Test (G.M.A.T.) as G.M.A.T. scores are not a requirement for admission to the certificate program. Students who wish to later pursue a Rohrer College of Business M.B.A. may have all C.O.G.S. credits transferred into the M.B.A. program.
