Final approvals are pending, but the Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) admission standards might become a little more difficult in the future. The UTA Graduate School uses, among many other factors, a metric called the "Index Score" as an initial admission criteria. The Index Score is calculated as follows: [200 x GPA] + GMAT SCORE. Currently, the benchmark Index Score for the MSRE is 1080. If the new Graduate Catalog is approved, the Index Score will go up modestly to 1120.
Although this is a bit more challenging for future applicants, current students and alumni should be interested in this change. Two big contributing factors to the value of your graduate degree includes the program admission standards and, once accepted, program rigor. This Index Score increase directly addresses the former.
Again, this is a modest increase. The MSRE admission standards are still below several other COBA programs such as the Master of Science in Quantitative Finance (MSQF) and the Master of Science in Marketing Research (MSMR).
Note: Remember the GPA is calculated by the Graduate School based on your last 60 credit hours (roughly your Junior/Senior year for manny applicants).
