Part-time MBA Admissions
To apply to the Ross School of Business, we ask that you submit a
variety of materials for us to best assess your qualifications for
our Part-time MBA programs. Below is a list of the application components we require. Each piece of the application plays an integral role in the overall admission evaluation; no single piece of the application is weighted more heavily than another. Please note that ALL materials need to be received by the posted deadline for the round in which you apply.
- Current resume
- GMAT or GRE test scores are valid for 5 years leading up
to the application deadline (Either Winter or Fall term)
- If international, TOEFL or IELTS test scores are valid for
2 years leading up to the application deadline (Either Winter or
Fall term)
- Undergraduate and post-graduate
transcripts
- Two letters of
recommendation (must be submitted online)
-
Essays
- Nonrefundable U.S. $200 application fee
- Interview (after application is submitted and by
invitation only)
In order to build a strong and diverse class, we look for applicants who possess a number of key characteristics:
- Strong intellectual ability as measured by
GMAT and academic record
- Leadership, initiative, and impact as
evidenced through professional achievements, extracurricular activities,
recommendation letters, and personal
essays
- Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills as demonstrated through recommendation letters and essays
- Clear goals and rationale for pursuing an
MBA as demonstrated through essays
- Fit with the Ross approach to management
education as demonstrated through essays
Additional items:
- Traditional business background not
required
- Individual evaluation occurs within
context of larger applicant pool
- No “formula” or “cutoff” determines a
candidate’s outcome
- There are no prerequisite courses for
admission
- Due to the analytical rigor of the
program, it is expected that students have a working knowledge
of college-level mathematics, including basic calculus. If
you have not had this coursework, we recommend that you take a
course that emphasizes business mathematics prior to beginning
the program. If you have basic math knowledge but need a
refresher, you may want to take our Quantitative Skills Workshop
offered each August.
