Admission
Admission to the Barney School is competitive and selective. We have set a priority deadline of August 1, although admissions are on a rolling basis. This means that there are no application deadlines and we review applications on a continuous basis. However, it is important to submit your materials early, since there are a limited number of students accepted each fall semester.
All candidates must submit the following:
- A completed application form
- Application fee: Domestic - $45
- Official transcripts of all previous baccalaureate and graduate study
- Two letters of recommendation
- Letter of Intent
- Current resume
- Applicants who hold a master's degree or higher from an appropriately accredited institution are exempt from the GMAT test. Applicants with five or more years of continuous work experience may apply for a waiver from the GMAT test. Each request for a GMAT waiver is individually evaluated and requires an in person interview
