Admissions

Who We Look For

We select applicants whose demonstrated leadership, intellectual capacity, global perspective, academic background and professional experience have prepared them to meet the rigors of our MSBA program and an impactful career.

• To be considered for admission, you must hold a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution or the international equivalent. To determine if your degree program meets our requirements, review the expected level of study for international students.

Every student is expected to have an aptitude for critical thinking, analytical and computing work. Beyond that, each student will be selected based on leadership in one specific skill set, either quantitative analysis, computing, business experience or organizational effectiveness.

The Admissions Committee evaluates your academic potential, professional promise and personal qualities. These factors are not listed in order of importance, and we look at each candidate individually.

We have alumni from many different backgrounds in the program, including accounting, business, economics, the liberal arts and more. We seek students who are passionate about analytics via academics, professional engagements and/or volunteerism. 

We aim to assemble a class of students who will bring diverse perspectives to the learning environment.
