Requirements 
Most Executive MBA program applicants are midcareer and have a track record of success. In your application and/or interview, you must show that you possess the academic ability and motivation to succeed, as well as the ability to work as part of a team.

GMAT or GRE scores are not a requirement for admission. Under certain circumstances we may require that you demonstrate you have the necessary quantitative skills to succeed in the program. If you've taken the GMAT or the GRE and feel the scores would strengthen your application, please submit them, and they will be considered along with your application materials.

Commitment and Recommendation Letters
Your application must be accompanied by two letters of recommendation and a letter of commitment.

Recommendation Letters
We prefer that senior-level executives or immediate supervisors write your letters of recommendation. Letters should address the authors' knowledge of your professional achievements; potential for future managerial success, capacity to handle graduate business education, and personal qualities such as motivation, integrity and leadership ability.

Commitment Letter 
This letter should describe the sponsor's understanding of the time commitment required to complete the program and the organization's agreement, if any, for financial support. If you are self-employed, please provide a statement of self-sponsorship. Your sponsoring officer should mail the commitment letter to the Admissions Committee in the Executive EMBA Program Office.
