Starting the Program

In order to be considered for matriculation directly into the Professional MBA program, a formal application, including GMAT or GRE scores, must be submitted by one of the application deadlines and reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Once the application is reviewed, if all the criteria are met, an invitation to join the program is extended and you are considered matriculated. Students may matriculate into the cohort in the Fall, or matriculate outside of the cohort in any other quarter.

Students have the option of beginning their studies before formally applying to the Professional MBA program through a non-matriculated start. Non-matriculated students may start in any quarter during the year and may take a maximum of two MBA core courses. Non-matriculated students who meet entrance criteria are eligible to waive the GMAT or GRE entrance exam requirement.

For students who do not have a strong academic history, taking Simon courses before applying for matriculation may provide the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to academic excellence in graduate education to the Admissions Committee.
