EASY Application Process
Application requirements for EBMA are detailed out below. Please contact us if you have questions.
Getting Ready to Apply
1. Essay
A personal essay is required for your application. Our admissions team reviews your essay to ensure a good fit between you and the EMBA program. In your essay, please address the following questions: 1) Why are you interested in pursuing your Executive MBA degree at this stage in your life/career? 2) What are your short-term and long-term career goals and how will the Executive MBA program help you achieve these goals?
2. References
One (1) letter of recommendation is required for your application; you may provide up to three (3). The letter should also address your strengths, weaknesses, personal character, and potential for success in the Executive MBA program.
In the application, you will need to provide the name(s) of the individual(s) who will be writing your letter of recommendation, title, and email address. Once added, the system will contact your references directly via email and provide a secure link for them to easily submit their letter(s). Be sure to contact your letter writers, so that they have sufficient time to write and submit your letter.
3. College Transcripts
For application review purposes, we require an unofficial copy of your college transcript(s).
4. Resumé
Up-to-date resumé, including your professional and academic history, and major accomplishments.
