Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Admission to the EMBA program is highly competitive and is based on significant and relevant professional and managerial work experience, prior academic performance, and personal attributes. Each applicant is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Most applicants have:
- An undergraduate degree, with a minimum GPA of 3.0
- 8-10+ years of progressive professional experience
- At least three-five years of management experience
Waiver of the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement is rare. The Admissions Committee will consider an applicant\xc2\x92s request for a GPA waiver in exceptional cases where post-undergraduate education or professional work experience create special circumstances.
The GMAT is not a mandatory requirement. Because we limit the size of each class to 45-50 participants, we are able\xc2\xa0to evaluate\xc2\xa0each applicant on an individual and very personal basis. However, applicants must demonstrate an ability to successfully complete quantitative course work. Candidates without demonstrated success in undergraduate or graduate quantitative course work may be asked to demonstrate abilities in other ways (e.g., GMAT).
English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
