Application Procedures
Application Process
Although you need time to make an informed decision about the Executive MBA Program, we encourage you to move ahead with the application process as soon as possible. EMBA classes are limited in size, and applications are reviewed throughout the year.
Sponsorship and Recommendation
The EMBA Program is a commitment, both for candidates and for their organizations. We require, therefore, that you secure a letter of approval from your organization. Many students are able to receive tuition support from their employer. We understand concerns you may have about the possibility of seeking company approval then being denied admission. Hence, the EMBA staff will work closely with you to determine the likelihood of your admission prior to seeking approval. Then, we will support your efforts to gain approval in whatever way will be most effective.
Graduate Admission Test
We may require that a Graduate Admission Test be taken. While the graduate test is only one of several measures of your potential management success in the program, performance on the quantitative section of the test is particularly important for those who may not regularly use quantitative skills and for those who struggled with quantitative courses during undergraduate education. For this reason, we strongly recommend preparation through any of the preparatory courses, study guides, or computer packages available. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is administered through Pearson Professional Centers. To schedule the test, go to www.mba.com. This website also contains FREE PowerPrep test preparation software.
