Admissions Criteria

In order for your application to be considered for admission, you must be employed full time. Students are expected to remain fully employed while in the program.

Applicants are required to submit a GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) score as part of their application unless they have been granted a waiver. The Admissions Committee will need an official score before students start the program, however, applicants may submit an unofficial score during the application process.

A waiver may also be considered for a candidate whose work experience and training indicates a high level of quantitative and analytical skill and ability to apply them to a rigorous and analytical MBA program.

Evaluation Criteria

The Admissions Committee evaluates candidates using the following criteria, but does not place more emphasis on one area over another:

  • Evidence of strong and logical career progression
  • Career advancement potential
  • Strength of academic record
  • Commitment required to complete program
  • Potential contribution to classmates
  • GMAT score (unless you have been granted a waiver)
