We recognize the extraordinary challenges present in the world today, including your plans for business school. We admire your decision to invest in yourself. As you courageously take the next step to invest in your future and career, our MBA admissions team is committed to helping you navigate through the application process.

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