Past students suggest that prospective Professional MBA students start early on their application process. Admission to the program will be determined by The Professional MBA Admissions Committee. The committee evaluates the applicant’s readiness to benefit from as well as contribute to the program.

Priority Deadline
The priority deadline each year for consideration for the upcoming class is April 10. To be considered, each applicant must be accepted into The Graduate School, complete The Professional MBA application, and take the Graduate Management Admissions test (GMAT), unless a waiver has been granted.

Selection Process
In selecting program participants, the admissions committee considers the following criteria:

• Professional Achievement – Includes recommendations and a record of significant accomplishments along with an increasing scope of responsibility.
• Academic Achievement – Includes a strong undergraduate grade point average, an acceptable score on the GMAT and acceptance by the UT Graduate School.
• Commitment to Learning – Includes a commitment to approximately 20 hours of work per week, class attendance on weekends as well as during the kick-off and capstone weeks over a 16-month period of time, and support by the applicant’s employer.
• Fit with Program Objectives – Includes an organizational setting appropriate for carrying out three applied projects within and on behalf of the organization and the ability to bring valuable insights to the class with maturity, problem solving ability, and breadth of business experience.
