Transfer Process
MiM students in good standing, with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, may be eligible to transfer into the Langone Part-time MBA Program. This process requires no additional application or materials.
The transfer itself takes place either in the final spring of the MiM program, allowing students to take Langone program courses in their final MiM semester, or the summer following completion of all MiM courses.
Students who transfer to the Langone Program will be considered to have completed all MBA core course requirements once they have completed 33 MiM credits. Students who transfer have six years from the date they matriculated in the MiM Program to complete the MBA degree.
