Admission

We admit Suffolk Executive MBAs in September each year. The current application deadline is July 15, 2013.

Applicants to the EMBA Program must have seven or more years of demonstrated leadership experience and exhibit significant professional achievements. Applicants to the program should hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. In select cases, we may consider an applicant who has displayed exceptional professional achievements in lieu of a degree.

Admission to the EMBA Program is competitive. Suffolk admits no more than 25 students per cohort to ensure that classes are kept to a moderate size, resulting in a personalized learning experience.

The EMBA Selection Committee evaluates applicants based on a variety of factors to determine a candidate’s potential for success in the program. The committee devotes extensive and individualized attention to every application, and views each candidate within the context of what he or she has to gain from and offer to the program.

Application Process

We require the following documentation:

  • Completed application form with a $50 non-refundable application fee. Apply online or download an application.
  • Detailed resume describing employment history, listing dates, responsibilities, and duties of all positions held, as well as academic institutions attended
  • Official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate schools attended
  • Two letters of recommendation: letters from past and present business and professional colleagues are most appropriate
  • Statement of professional goals summarizing the candidate's professional experience and how the EMBA Program will help achieve their short-term and long-term leadership goals.
  • The GMAT is NOT required for admission

Once we receive the application and corresponding credentials, we will contact the candidate to schedule an interview.

On Campus Interview

We require a one-hour interview with the EMBA Selection Committee for each candidate. The EMBA Selection Committee consists of the Director of the EMBA Program, a Faculty member, and an EMBA Alumnus.

Admissions Decision

Once the interview process is complete, the EMBA Selection Committee will make its decision.

Upon acceptance, each participant must submit a non-refundable tuition deposit of $1,500 in order to secure a place in the entering class. This deposit will be credited towards tuition.
