Admission Deadlines for International Students

MBA Program

International students, applying to the MBA program, must submit all materials so they are received no later than April 1 in order to be considered for the Fall quarter enrollment of the same year. This deadline is not an application deadline, it is a portfolio completion deadline; meaning that all required supporting documents must be received by that date. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible to start the application process. Be advised, in the event there is a conflict between an international completion deadline and a program deadline, the earlier date will apply.
