Admission - MBA

Application Timeline

Application are accepted at any time, but should be submitted by June 30 for a fall entry into the program.

Admission Criteria

Persons applying to the MBA program should meet the following requirements:

1. Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale. Exceptions may be considered for applicants with extensive and significant (length and role) organizational leadership experience.

2. 2 years of work experience is advised. Exceptions may be considered for an applicant with a business-related undergraduate degree, or other graduate degrees or studies, or significant leadership role(s) proximal to admission.

3. English language proficiency. For non-native English speakers, a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper based) or equivalent is required.

4. Demonstrated strong written and oral communication and quantitative skills, and proficiency using ubiquitous business applications (e.g. word processing, spreadsheet, presentation).

5. Conditional admission may be granted to a limited number of students who come just below the requirements for unconditional admission, but who otherwise demonstrate the ability, experience, and motivation to adequately perform graduate level work. The faculty evaluates performance at the end of the first course and first semester, and a decision is made whether to lift the conditional status, extend the conditional status, or deny continuing enrollment.

Application Process

A completed application includes:

1. A completed EMU MBA online application.

2. A non-refundable application fee of $50.

3. Official transcript(s) from each college or university attended.

4. Two letters of recommendation, including one from an employer.

5. An interview with the MBA director.

An MBA admissions committee composed of program faculty makes the final admission decision.
