Admissions

The strength of the graduate programs at the Boston University School of Management has a foundation in the quality and commitment of the people involved. From our first-class faculty and staff, to the importance we place on having an excellent graduate student body, you can count on being challenged and elevated to higher degrees of excellence than you thought possible.

The Admission Committee looks for three primary factors when they review an application:

• A record of academic excellence — so we can be assured that you will thrive in our dynamic learning environment
• Evidence of managerial and leadership potential — to indicate the value you will bring to future employers
• Diversity of thought — to ensure that you will be challenged by people who have different fields of reference within your teams and in the classroom

We are committed to enrolling qualitatively excellent incoming classes that represent global, ethnic, and demographic diversity.  It is our policy to encourage prospective students to consider our management programs regardless of race, color, religious creed, gender, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, eligible veteran status or any other category protected by law.

The Graduate Admission Office promises that you will have a thoughtful and timely response to your completed application.
