Application and Admission

Admission into the MBA Program is competitively based. Our goal is to look beyond GMAT scores and old transcripts. The Admissions Committee is interested in admitting and enrolling a select group of sharp, highly motivated, and mature students. Our employer partners depend on us to admit high-potential candidates, so we will concentrate on uncovering your most employable assets along with a strong indication that you’ll be able to excel in the classroom.

Complete applicant files will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee beginning March 1 every year. The last step of your application is a personal interview with the committee. Applicants who have not completed their files by March will be considered for admission on a space-available basis. We observe a rolling admission policy until space is no longer available.

Non-business students who have not completed all their common body of knowledge (CBK) courses but have complete application files may be considered for "conditional admission" upon successful completion of these courses. Evaluations and interviews begin in March for CBK students.
