Seven steps to application success

To complete the Weekend MBA application/admission process, take the following steps:

  1. Complete the online application as early as possible.

    (We encourage applicants to complete the online application early. Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and our program is designed to help students plan well in advance for their participation.)

  2. Prepare and take the GMAT as soon as possible (Some students may meet the GMAT requirement thorough alternate means.)
  3. Request transcripts from all previous college/university coursework
  4. Identify and notify two - three recommenders (These individuals will be asked to submit their recommendation through a simple online form.)
  5. Update your professional resume, including all significant post-bachelor degree work experiences
  6. Complete the two online essays
  7. Review and submit your completed application

After you apply

You will receive notification of the Admissions Committee's decision via e-mail. If admitted, you must make a non-refundable deposit to hold your place in the class.

If you are accepted into the program, you'll be invited to attend an Admitted Student Event in the late spring. During this event, you'll have an opportunity to meet classmates, staff and faculty and ask a current student panel questions about the program. You'll also receive your textbooks and pre-course assignments, along with materials describing the orientation and 1st residency session.

The Weekend MBA program officially begins in August. However, students must complete significant preparation steps before the program begins, including:

  • Online orientation
  • Team-focused orientation at the Henry Center (see the Academic Calendar for dates)
  • Academic pre-work
