Factors and Procedures Used in Admissions

Full-time program -

Our review is holistic. Three factors serve as the application foundation: academic record, work experience, and test scores. Essays, recommendations, and information about leadership and community involvement are important too. The application is online only. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Interviews are by school request, though applicants may also request an interview.

Executive program -

Primary consideration is given to prior professional achievement and professional potential, along with an assessment of academic record and GMAT scores (if required). E.M.B.A. and I.M.M. application processes are collaborative and each applicant has a personal admissions counselor to assist them during the process. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Interviews are encouraged.

Part-time program -

An assessment of professional and academic potential is founded on an evaluation of three factors: work experience, academic record, and test scores. The GMAT may be waived in some cases. In addition, essays, recommendations, and other factors are evaluated. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Interviews are encouraged.
