FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Why do I have to secure my seat? Doesn’t my acceptance mean I’m in the program? A: Each year we have a significant number of applicants apply to the Executive MBA program. We admit all qualified applicants who meet our program’s stringent criteria. However, acceptance into the program does not guarantee you a seat in the upcoming class. We limit the number of seats for both the Global Business and the Management of Technology cohorts to ensure a stellar learning experience for both our students and faculty. Once capacity has been reached for a cohort, we cannot seat any more students for the year. Accepted students who did not secure their seat in time will have the option of being added to a waitlist or deferring to the following year if they make their deposit. Q: Do I need to submit all forms at one time? A: No. Once you have confirmed your acceptance decision online and submitted your non-refundable enrollment deposit, your seat has been secured. You may return to the website as needed to complete each requirement. Please note, all requirements must be met to clear you for fall registration.
