Procedure for applying
A number of factors are considered in selecting candidates for a Professional MBA program. In most cases, each applicant is evaluated holistically on his or her professional performance, academic records, GMAT scores, professional recommendations and a demonstrated ability to accomplish graduate-level course work, and a letter of support from an authorized representative from their organization. Professional MBA students typically enter the program with 4 or more years of professional and/or managerial experience.
Evaluation of students for admission to a Professional MBA program is a very individualized process. While test scores, grade point averages and other objective criteria are all considered, a prospective student’s background, work experience, career goals, desire to succeed and numerous other factors are considered in making an admission decision.
Applicants should complete the requirements listed below and meet the deadlines set forth in “Admission Deadlines” above.
