Admissions

There are two ways to gain admission to the iMBA program. You may apply online with your completed application materials, as detailed below. Or if you're concerned your profile might not be strong enough to gain admission, you can apply to the program through the Performance-based Admissions Track (PAT)—a first-of-its-kind pathway into the iMBA program. If you earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in your first three courses in the PAT, including a B or better in at least two of three courses, you will be admitted to the degree program.
