Who Should Apply
The Full-time UST MBA program selects highly motivated individuals from a variety of backgrounds based upon their potential to become principled global business leaders. We therefore consider the entire application under the following criteria:
Academic Performance
We welcome applicants who hold a U.S. bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, in any major. While many UST MBA students studied business at the undergraduate level, students who majored in the sciences, social sciences, liberal arts, engineering or other fields are also encouraged to apply. Applicants who have limited or no coursework in mathematics at the university level are encouraged to take an undergraduate course in business calculus or statistics prior to entering the UST MBA program.
Work Experience
Most incoming UST MBA students have between three and six years of full-time professional work experience prior to entering the program. The admissions committee strongly prefers that applicants have at least two years of work experience before enrolling. College seniors are encouraged to consider our guaranteed deferral option.
Intellectual Aptitude
We review the verbal, quantitative and analytical writing assessment on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) as one indication of your potential to succeed in the Full-time UST MBA program. Requests to submit GRE scores in place of GMAT scores will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Leadership Potential
We review your application, letters of recommendation and essays for demonstrated abilities to perform as a principled leader who achieves results.
Guaranteed Deferral for College Seniors
