Applications for the Professional MBA Program will be accepted through May 1 of each year. Please note that the admissions procedure for the Professional MBA Program has changed, completed applications received on or before May 1 will be evaluated by the Admissions Committee in the weeks following the deadline. The competitive admission policy is required because of the high number of applicants for the limited spaces open each year. If a candidate is qualified based on the admissions criteria but does not make the final selection then that person will be invited to join the Distance MBA Program or to update for the next year’s Professional MBA Program class. Updating to the next year’s Professional MBA Program does not constitute acceptance into the program, it allows the applicant to try again for one of the slots in the evening program in the following year..

The Professional MBA Program attracts professionals throughout the region to study together in a dynamic, learning atmosphere. Every student learns from each other’s diverse work experiences, leading to successful team building and long-term networking opportunities. The program focuses on fundamental aspects of advanced business, including domestic and international case studies that highlight issues and concepts with immediate applicability to the workplace.

This part-time professional program meets two evenings per week for 21-months. This 36-credit program covers four regular academic semesters and one summer session and is designed for working professionals who want to earn their MBA degree without interrupting their daytime careers.

Professional MBA Program admission criteria consist of at least four years of full-time professional experience, an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution with at least a 3.0 GPA and a strong showing on the GMAT. Applicants with 8 years or more of full-time professional experience may petition for a waiver to the GMAT. For additional admissions criteria and to complete the application process, please review the Admissions Requirements.
