Full-Time MBA

Admission to the graduate business programs at the University of New Haven is competitive.

Candidates are evaluated carefully on previous academic and professional success as well as on their potential for leadership in business, nonprofit, and other careers. Candidates for admission to graduate programs are required to hold a four-year baccalaureate degree (or the equivalent) from an accredited institution. International students must hold a degree that is acceptable as an alternative to a four year bachelor\xc2\x92s degree program in the United States.

An undergraduate degree in business is not a requirement; qualified students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Admission decisions are based on a \xc2\x93portfolio\xc2\x94 approach that includes review of the combination of a student\xc2\x92s undergraduate and/or graduate academic performance, professional and/or business experience, standardized test scores, and two letters of recommendation. Applicants are encouraged to submit GMAT (or GRE) scores as part of their application.* Note: Applicants to the Emerging Leaders cohorts of the M.B.A. program should also possess a minimum of two years of post-collegiate professional, administrative, or business experience.

Required materials for admission are as follows:

• Completed application
• Official transcript(s)
• Two letters of recommendation
• Test scores*
• R\xc3\xa9sum\xc3\xa9

Applicants may submit an essay or personal statement to provide additional information to the admissions committee or to explain any unusual circumstances.

The test score requirement can be satisfied by submission of GMAT scores, or scores from the general test administered through the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) program, or submission of evidence of current licensure as a certified public accountant, attorney, medical doctor or similar credential.
