Application Deadlines

We process applications on a rolling admissions basis, meaning that we review and evaluate applications as they are submitted to our program rather than waiting until the deadline to begin the review process.

Please use the recommended deadlines below as guidelines for completing your application. Within two to four weeks of submitting a complete application, including all required supplementary materials, you will hear from the Admissions Committee regarding the outcome of its initial review.

Semester Classes begin Application deadline
Autumn 2013 August 21, 2013 May 15, 2013
Spring 2014 January 6, 2014 October 15, 2013

Every year we receive more applications than we have space available in the MBA program. If you do not receive an offer of admission, you may contact our admissions staff to discuss how you can strengthen your application and apply for admission in a later year.

Successful repeat applicants need to provide the MBA Admissions Committee evidence of any additional personal, academic, and/or professional growth achieved, in addition to information provided in the original application.

We will keep your application on record for a maximum of one year. However, when you decide to re-apply, we require that you complete a new application in its entirety, including new academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, personal statement, resume, and application fee.

Admission decisions are based on newly submitted applications. Your previously submitted file will serve only as a point of reference for the Working Professional MBA Admissions Committee.
