Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GMAT or GRE score to apply?

We require submission of either a GMAT or GRE score for MBA and MSBA admission consideration. Waiver options are available for those with 8+ years of relevant work experience, but it should be noted that (1) no minimum score requirement is enforced, and the admissions committee reviews applications holistically--meaning the score alone is insufficient for determining the fitness of an applicant, and (2) our most generous scholarship is only awarded to those who submit GMAT or GRE scores at the application stage.

Do I need professional work experience to apply?

For those who are interested in the MBA program, we require a minimum of 3 years of professional work experience from applicants.

The MiM and MSBA programs do not have minimum requirements for professional work experience.
