The 11-Month MBA Program uses a rolling admission system. The committee reviews applications when they are fully complete, including transcripts, GMAT scores and letters of recommendation. Candidates are encouraged to submit their application as early in the process as possible. Completed applications are reviewed until early August, but those received after June 15 are considered on a space-available basis. We encourage all international applicants to complete their applications by May 15, which allows sufficient time for visa and travel arrangements if they are admitted.

A personal interview may also be required for admission to the 11-Month MBA. Students who are not accepted into the 11-Month MBA, but show high potential for success in the Professional MBA program, can have their applications transferred to this program. They will be advised of their admission status as soon as possible.​

Applicants’ complete academic records, including GPAs and previous coursework, are considered. Undergraduate degrees do not have to be in business, but they must be from regionally accredited colleges or universities.
