Simple admissions. No GMAT required. Start your career in 3 weeks.

Bachelor’s degree

From a regionally accredited U.S. institution or international equivalent. Any major.

Professional experience

Two or more years preferred but not required. Internships, part-time jobs, volunteer roles, and project work all demonstrate valuable experience.

Written statement

One 750-word essay on why you want this degree and what you’ll do with it. Two prompts available.

Two recommendations

From supervisors, professors, or clients. Submit names directly through the application portal.

Upcoming deadlines

Three cohorts per year. Early applicants are reviewed first and have the best chance at scholarship.

Admissions FAQs

Can I transfer credits from another graduate program?

Up to 6 credits (two courses) may be transferred from another regionally-accredited graduate program, subject to review.

Is there a deferral option if I’m admitted?

Yes. Admitted students may defer their start by one cohort (about four months) without reapplying.

What’s the average GPA of admitted students?

The middle 50% of admitted students have undergraduate GPAs between 3.2 and 3.7. We accept students well outside that range when professional experience makes the case.
