Prospective applicants to our MBA and MS programs are encouraged to work for several years before enrolling. Applicants are not admitted to the Full-Time Honors MBA program without at least two years of postgraduate full-time work experience.
The nature and extent of an applicant's work experience is one of our selection criteria and makes you more competitive for admission. If work experience is not related to business please expand upon the type of work experience and skills that can be related to the area you wish to study.
Occasionally admission to our Flex-Time programs is offered to recent graduates with strong academic credentials and an impressive list of extracurricular activities and part-time work experience. These applicants should use the "Optional Essay" to make a good case for going to school directly out of undergraduate school.
