How to Apply
Due to the small size of each Global Executive MBA class, you are encouraged to apply as early as possible. The admissions process goes as follows:
- Complete and submit the on-line application form
By registering a personal username and password, you will be able to return to your own personal application form on-line and complete it over a period of time, at your leisure. Your on-line application will not be looked at until it has been submitted.
- Send all required supplementary documents to Global Executive MBA Admissions (see below in Application Checklist to ensure you have all the required documents). Upon submission, you will have to pay a non-refundable application fee of $130.
- Once a completed application and all required documents are received, the Admissions Pre-Committee reviews it and decides whether to invite you for an interview.
- After the interview, the Admissions Final Committee decides whether to admit the candidate. You can expect a decision within three weeks after the interview.
- Upon acceptance, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of 5,000 euros to reserve a place in the class.
