The MFPA program utilizes a rolling admission process. Rolling admission means the students will be notified of a decision within a few weeks of completing and submitting the entire application. This process also means that admission is granted to those that apply first, assuming qualifications are met.
Prior to being admitted to the MFPA program these pre-requisites must be completed, and must have a "B" grade or higher in order to fulfill the admission criteria:
| Course Prefix and Number | Title | Details |
|---|---|---|
| FIN 3100 | Principles of Finance | Finance: MyEducator * |
| MGMT 2340 | Statistics | Business Statistics: MyEducator * |
| MATH 1050 | College Algebra |
* Substitutions for any of the above three UVU undergraduate courses would need to be pre-approved by the Academic Director of the MFPA program.
Based on when you wish to attend, submit your online application by one of the deadlines listed below. Please note, applications cannot be submitted after the final deadline date. It is always best to apply early.
We recommend that you prepare for this interview as you would for a professional job interview. Be ready to provide more information about aspects of your application and demonstrate your understanding of UVU’s MFPA program. Successful candidates will also be able to speak to their background, aspirations, interests, and how the MFPA program fits their plans and life goals.
Once all interviews have been conducted, each candidate will be notified of the committee’s final decision. If you have received an offer of acceptance, you will need to confirm your acceptance with the MFPA Office in order to hold your place in the program. This can be done by responding to the offer email or calling the MFPA office.
