Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

In order to apply for the MMS: DKU program, at a minimum, you must have earned or expect to earn a bachelor\'s degree from an accredited college or university by the time the program starts. If you already have an MBA or equivalent, you are not eligible for the MMS: DKU program. If you have more than 2 years of full-time, post-graduate work experience, please contact the admissions office to talk about how your unique situation fits our admissions criteria.

All applications are evaluated holistically based on multiple criteria. Outlined below are the ways in which we evaluate the components of applications to determine if students fit our selection criteria.
Academic Aptitude & Quantitative Proficiency

The MMS: DKU academic environment is rigorous, fast-paced and requires strong quantitative and analytical skills. We utilize standardized test scores, transcripts and any applicable work experience to ensure that our admitted students will be successful in the program. The Admissions Committee pays particular attention to the quantitative segment of your test score to ensure that you can handle the rigor of the program.

There are no prerequisite courses for the program, but if you do not have a strong quantitative background, we recommend that you take courses such as statistics, calculus or finance. This will provide another measure of your quantitative ability.
Professional Experience & Career Potential
Our admissions criteria does not indicate a required minimum work experience; however, you should have no more than two years of full-time, post-graduate work experience. We evaluate paid and unpaid work engagements \xc2\x97 including volunteer positions, part-time work, student clubs and activities, and internships \xc2\x97 to provide insight into your initiative, experience working in a team environment, and other skills that would translate well into potential career paths after the MMS: DKU program.

We require one of three English proficiency tests (TOEFL, IELTS or PTE) and further evaluate non-native speakers\' English skills during the interview.

However, if you earned a degree from, and completed the majority of your schooling in, an institution in which the primary language of instruction is English, you are not required to provide an English proficiency test. Visit the International Applicants page for further information.
