The H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship will host the second biannual Graduate School Admissions Day in the Carl DeSantis Building’s Huizenga Sales Institute on March 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Prospective students will be able to submit their applications and transcripts, at no cost, for an immediate acceptance decision, enjoy light refreshments, and speak to enrollment and admissions representatives about the upcoming semester.
If accepted, students can also meet with academic advisers to register for classes, sign up for orientation and speak with financial representatives and faculty members.
Director of Recruitment and Admissions Liza Sumulong said that current NSU seniors who attend the event and are accepted will receive a graduate tuition scholarship of $5,550. Students of all undergraduate academic programs are eligible.
“If anybody is a senior and is looking at pursuing a business master’s degree, this is the day to come,” Sumulong said.
Admission decisions will be based on the applicant’s application, transcripts from previously attended colleges and universities, undergraduate GPA and whether the student received a bachelor’s from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or an equivalent degree for international students.
Once students are accepted into the master’s program, they will have the chance to attend a brief orientation session, visit the Don Taft University Center and tour the Horvitz Administration Building. Students who enroll and whose information is entered into the school’s database will be able to get a SharkCard and parking pass the same day.
Sumulong recommends students know which of the business school’s 20 MBA and master’s programs they are interested in — such as accounting, leadership, taxation and global management — and come prepared to ask questions. A full list of the school’s programs can be found at huizenga.nova.edu/futurestudents.
Sumulong said the first admissions day was in December 2013.
“We didn’t realize how many people would actually come in for this,” Sumulong said.
Sixty people attended the first event, 12 of which were completely registered by the end of the day. As of Feb. 10, there are 30 RSVPs for the March 6 admissions day.
