Admissions FAQ

1. Is the Mason Executive MBA Program accredited?

Yes. The program is fully accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

2. Do all application materials have to be submitted together in one package?

No,  applicants are encouraged to submit application materials as they become available. The application and letters of recommendations are submitted online and the official transcripts are typically sent from the academic institutions directly to the program. It is our policy to send email notifications to applicants updating the status of their application file until it is complete and ready for review by the Admissions Committee.

3. What if I am unable to complete my application by November 15?

The Executive MBA Program has a rolling admissions policy and all applications are considered on a space available basis. Applying by the final deadline of November 15 increases the probability of space being available in the class. The early deadline is August 1 when the $100 application fee is waived.

4. Should I call the Executive MBA Program to make an appointment for an admissions interview?

No. Once all application materials have been received, the applicant will be contacted for the admissions interview. Each candidate will be scheduled to interview with the Assistant Dean and the Director. The entire interview process lasts approximately one hour.

5. After the interview, how long will it take the Admissions Committee to make a decision on my  application?

Once all application materials have been received and an applicant has been interviewed, a letter indicating the Admissions Committee's decision is mailed within two weeks.
