General Application Requirements

Official academic transcripts from all previous undergraduate or graduate education (unofficial copies are accepted for admission, but official copies must be submitted prior to starting the program)
Microeconomics
Two Quantitative Courses (business statistics, college algebra, etc.)
- Admitted students who have not satisfied these prerequisites will be required to complete courses through Coursera.
Two recommendations
- One recommendation must be from an academic source (i.e. professor, academic advisor, etc.)
Resume

- Try our GMAT mini quiz to get an idea of what kinds of questions you’ll face on the GMAT.
- GRE/GMAT Waivers: Applicants who received an undergraduate GPA of 3.3 or higher, or those who will have their degree conferred from the University of Notre Dame, will have GRE/GMAT waived. Students are still welcome to take the exam, but a lack of test scores will not have a negative impact on their admissibility.

Statement of Purpose (100 words)
One slide presentation (up to four slides)
