Admissions Process

Admission to the Eller Executive MBA requires a combination of application materials submitted by you and others and an interview with the Admissions Committee.

You will need to compile several documents for your application packet, some of which require careful consideration and work. Plan to spend 8 to 12 hours preparing and gathering materials, including 3 to 5 hours in a setting that allows you to write and concentrate.

Application Deadlines

Priority Consideration: April 1
All Applications: May 15

Eligibility

The Eller Executive MBA is reserved for professionals with 7 or more years of significant experience showing positions of leadership and progressive responsibility.

Employees with less experience may also be admitted if their career history demonstrates leadership potential and successful management of significant projects and assignments. These employees must procure a letter of endorsement from an executive-level supervisor.

Reserving admission for this select group allows for a more advanced curriculum with a focus on executive-level analyses and challenges and creates a class of professionals with equitable levels of experience and industry influence.

GMAT Testing

Because applicants’ professional experience and accomplishments evidence their business acumen and suitability for an MBA program, the Eller Executive MBA waives GMAT testing.

Required Materials

You must submit the following application materials:

• The completed application form (online or printed)
• Your professional resume
• Two essays
• TOEFL score (if English is not your first language)

Additionally, others will submit the following:

• Letters of recommendation and completed recommendation forms from two professional associates
• Official transcripts (we include a request form with application materials)
• An executive letter of endorsement (from a senior manager in your organization)

Interview

If the Admissions Committee identifies you as a viable program candidate after reviewing your complete application, we will contact you to schedule an interview before our final admission decision.

The Admissions Committee will not review partially complete applications.
