Criteria, Processes, Factors, and Procedures Used in Admissions
(Data appear as originally submitted by this school)
Full-time traditional two-year and full-time accelerated programs: Each application is considered independently and holistically. The admission committee looks for indications of an applicant’s ability to succeed academically, to exhibit managerial and leadership potential, and to enhance the diversity of thought in the classroom in terms of nationality, undergraduate major, and work and life experiences.
Executive program: Admission for the Executive MBA program is designed to select mid-career managers wishing to make the transition to senior level management. Boston University seeks to attract successful individuals who have made an impact in their current careers, and who come from a variety of industries and functions. Successful students must be committed to learning in a team environment.
Part-time program: Admission to our Professional Evening M.B.A. Program is primarily for candidates who want to develop functional proficiency in a particular area of interest or to round out a candidate’s skill set. Successful applicants have a track record of academic achievement, and can display managerial and leadership potential though their previous experiences.
