Criteria for Executive MBA

MBA degrees are growing in popularity, and some schools offer executive MBAs for those who work full-time. The executive MBA programs teach the same curriculum as a daytime MBA, but on a more flexible schedule. Instead of students going to school every weekday for two to three years, executive MBA students attend school on the weekends. The admissions criteria for executive MBA programs are similar to those in traditional MBA programs.
  1. Grades

    • Most schools have minimum undergraduate GPAs or will state the average GPAs of students they accepted in the past. You must have official transcripts or contact your undergraduate college so they can send them to the admissions office directly.

    Work Experience

    • The executive MBA is not just for executives, but substantial work experience is important. Most schools prefer applicants with at least 10 years of full-time experience. This is important if the classes depend on applying your past work experience to assignments. Applicants include their resumes as proof of experience.

    GMAT or GRE Scores

    • The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are tests that measure the ability to do graduate-level work. Most schools want scores from one or the other. Some schools have minimum scores for applicants, but most do not. School want current scores, which are those earned within the last five years.

    Letters of Recommendation

    • References from bosses or professors can demonstrate the applicant's potential, personality and past achievements. For the letters of recommendation, contact people well in advance of the due date. You should also give them your resume and all instructions for writing and mailing the letter.

    Personal Essay

    • Many schools list multiple options for essay topics. The essay gives the admission committee an idea of who the applicant is and why he or she is a good match for the program. Follow the essay guidelines carefully and get someone to proofread your work before submitting it.
