A supportive process

Applying to an EMBA program is a big commitment. The process can take one to three hours of your time. Our admissions team will contact you to learn about your goals and background. This helps us ensure our EMBA program is right for you, and you are right for the program. We believe this personalized approach helps you make informed decisions and get the most out of your experience.

Our team is here to answer any questions and help with your application. There’s no commitment or fee to start. We aim to make the process clear and simple, so you can focus on your education and career growth.

We assess applications on a rolling basis until the application deadline of June 30. As seats fill up, competition for the remaining spots increases. We typically make an admission decision within seven to 10 days of receiving a complete application.

Admission requirements

Our Executive MBA program is highly selective, with limited spots each year. We rigorously review each applicant’s qualifications and experience to ensure they meet these standards:

  • 4-year bachelor’s degree in any discipline
  • B average (73-77%) in the two most recent years of university study
  • Considerable work experience (10+ years), including a significant amount in a managerial capacity (7+ years)
  • Demonstration of English proficiency (written and oral)

 

Non-degree Applicants

We will consider non-degree applicants if you have a minimum of 12 years of managerial experience. If you don’t meet work experience or degree requirements, you will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be required to submit a GMAT.
