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: We consider an applicant’s career focus, need for the MBA, academic ability, and leadership potential. We also consider professional experiences: working, volunteering, and other, and the level of responsibilities candidates have had. Lastly, we review their undergraduate record, GMAT, and references.
Executive program: Candidates must have at least 8 years of business experience and approval from their current employer. In addition to the online application, we require three letters of recommendation and undergraduate transcripts. Admissions interviews are on an invitation only basis. The GMAT exam is not required. Applications are received year-round, with a final deadline of May 1.
Part-time program: Candidates must have two years full-time work experience and an online application as well as GMAT score, three recommendations, two essays, and undergraduate transcripts. Admissions interviews by invitation only. Applications will be evaluated based on an applicant’s academic and professional qualifications, good fit with the general management major and the lock-step cohort program structure.
