Admissions Requirements

The Admissions Office pays personal attention to you. Our process is highly selective, and we strongly encourage you to apply early to ensure a more timely response from the Admissions Committee. Our goal is to recruit - and then develop - top talent.

What We Look For

For both Full-time MBA programs, we are looking for candidates:

• From all backgrounds and undergraduate disciplines to ensure a broad range of specializations and interests
• Who make a valuable contribution in the classroom, with demonstrated ability to excel, lead, learn and grow
• Who have a strong undergraduate academic record and post-undergraduate, full-time work experience with demonstrated leadership abilities
• With competitive scores on the GMAT and, for non-native English-speaking applicants, the TOEFL, Pearson Test of English (PTE), or IETLS
• With the ability to contribute both in and outside of the classroom

In addition, we look for One-Year candidates who also have:

• A degree in business or, depending on the university attended and coursework completed, economics. Applicants with strong quantitative backgrounds (such as engineering and math majors) who possess solid business experience may also qualify for this program, as determined on a case-by-case basis. In some instances, additional business coursework may be necessary to be considered for the program.
• Focused work experience and clear direction about post-MBA goals.

Applicant Verification Process

Integrity is of one of our Core Values and, implicitly, an important characteristic of our application process. To guard against potential allegations that students may have provided inaccurate information about themselves or their backgrounds in their applications, all application credentials for deposited Full-time MBA candidates will be subject to an independent verification process. The student is responsible for the $70 fee associated with this process.

Transfer Policy

We do not accept transfer credit. Students in our Full-time programs are given the opportunity to take waiver exams for core courses. This does not shorten the overall length of the program, but it does allow those students to take more elective courses.

Current MBA Holders

If you have earned a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree in the United States, you are not eligible to enroll in a Goizueta Business School MBA Program. Exceptions to this policy will be considered on a rare case-by-case basis if the degree is considered not comparable to the academic and experiential content of Goizueta Business School's MBA Program.
