• Application Form

Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit an online application form. The Heller School strives to reduce waste by minimizing the amount of paper used in the application process. Applying online ensures that your application will be processed quickly and efficiently.

• Application Fee

The Application Fee is US $55.00. This fee is waived for applicants from developing nations and current or returned Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, City Year, and other service organization volunteers.

• Statement of Purpose

The statement of purpose is the most important aspect of the application. It should be 2-3 pages in length and should address directly the goals of the Sustainable International Development program, while outlining how an MBA will help achieve these goals . In addition to highlighting previous academic and professional experiences, the statement should illustrate your leadership potential and commitment to social justice. You should also detail the reasons for applying to the dual program and include an in-depth discussion of your career goals following completion of the program.

• Resume/Curriculum Vitae

The resume or curriculum vitae should detail your professional and academic background as well as highlight relevant skills and accomplishments. The Heller School does not place limits on the length of your resume/cv, but applicants should make every effort to present relevant information neatly and succinctly.

• University Transcripts

We must receive transcripts from every university, college, or graduate institution you have attended. Transcripts should show the name of each course and the grade received, as well as the year/term in which it was taken. We encourage you to submit scanned, electronic copies of your transcript with your online application to ensure the quickest review.

• Letters of Recommendation

Three letters of recommendation are required. The first letter should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution where you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor. The third letter may be either academic or professional. An academic letter, however, is not required if you last attended university more than ten years ago.

• Standardized Test Scores

Applicants to the dual MBA/MS program must submit test results of either the Graduate Management Admission Test - GMAT (preferred) or the Graduate Record Exam - GRE. Applicants must request the test scores to be sent directly to the Heller School by the appropriate code when taking the test. The code for the GMAT is 3FD-ZX-31. The code for the GRE is 3097.
