Application Deadline

A new EMBA cohort begins in August each year.

The deadline to submit applications is June 30.

Applicants are encouraged to apply early, as space is limited. Applications are considered on a rolling basis year-round. Applicants accepted early are welcome to begin classes in the spring or summer semester by taking one or both of their electives before the start of the EMBA program in August.

Transfer Credit

We accept up to six credit hours of graduate-level coursework applicable to your program and completed with distinction at an AACSB-accredited institution. All transfer credit must be approved by your academic advisor during your first semester.
