Admission

Admission to a Rollins MBA Program is selective and based upon an evaluation of all application materials submitted by a candidate. Our admissions policy ensures that incoming classes will be comprised of individuals who represent a diverse background, exercise integrity and demonstrate management potential. Academic records, score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), previous and current professional experience, and evidence of maturity and motivation are among the factors that are evaluated during the admission process.

The Professional MBA (PMBA) Program enrolls two classes per year – in September and January. Since admission is granted on a rolling basis it is to your advantage to submit an application as early as possible.

Two letters of recommendation are required.  They should be written by individuals who are familiar with your academic performance, or professional persons who can highlight your potential for graduate work. A letter from your immediate supervisor is strongly encouraged. Letters should be sent in a timely manner and are required for your application to be considered complete. The Professional MBA admissions office often contacts these individuals during the application review process.
