The Mason MBA Program provides a high-level professional education in business administration. It is offered in both part- and full-time formats. The curriculum integrates functional areas with an emphasis on group work, information technology, and the global business environment.
Admissions Requirements
All students registering for SOM graduate courses must have graduate standing. Non degree student status is not available. Admission is highly competitive and available to all qualified candidates without regard to prior academic major. No previous course work in business administration is required, but a four-year undergraduate degree and a college-level calculus course must be successfully completed before matriculation. Admission is based on a combination of academic, professional, and leadership factors. No portion of the portfolio is considered more important than another; careful consideration is given to every part of the application packet to ensure that the Admission Committee has an accurate profile of a candidate’s professional and academic qualifications. For information on the GMAT, go to www.mba.com. A minimum of two years of professional work experience is recommended before entering the program.
The part-time MBA format commences twice a year: fall and spring semesters. Priority is given to applicants submitting their application by October 15 for the following spring semester and March 15 for the following fall semester. Applications for admission received after October 15 and March 15 will be considered on a space-available basis. The full-time MBA format begins only in the fall and has an application deadline of January 15. International students have an application deadline of January 15. |
