Personal
At Tulane, class sizes are small: about 30 students in each class. You'll be in a environment where know your instructors and classmates, and they'll know you. Your voice will be heard, your questions answered, and one-on-one relationships will develop.

Classrooms are rich, interactive, and personal, yet the scope is global. In the end, you are well-prepared for any business challenge.

World-renowned faculty, exceptional academic facilities, innovative curricula, and a long tradition of excellence make your Tulane experience one that is truly world class.

Requirements

Professional Experience 
Although significant work experience is not a key consideration for the Weekend MBA program, the Committee will expect the candidate to have two years of full-time, postgraduate work experience and will also consider the candidate's initiative and level of professional responsibility. 

Demonstrated Ability
The committee considers a candidate's professional background, past academic performance, and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) results.

Degree Requirements 
Official transcripts from the registrar of all colleges and universities attended must be requested by the candidate and sent directly to the Stewart Center of Executive Education. Candidates must have earned an undergraduate degree. Neither a business degree nor specific business courses are required for admission.

Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
Acceptable GMAT test scores are required for admission into the program.

To learn more about the GMAT and to schedule a test date, visitwww.MBA.com .  Our program code SVC-SG-47.  We can access your official GMAT scores online within a few days of your test date.   You will receive unofficial scores immediately after taking the GMAT.

Personal Interview
The interview aids the Committee in assessing the candidate's strengths, motivations, personal commitment, and ability to meet the demands of the program. The interview also offers the candidate and opportunity to ask questions and discuss any individual concerns with the program director. We strongly encourage applicants to schedule an interview early in the application process. To schedule an interview, contact Jim Rahe, Director of Houston MBA Programs, at 713.586.6405 or jrahe@tulane.edu

Recommendations
Two recommendations, attesting to the applicant's academic and professional abilities, are required. One recommendation should be from a high-ranking officer from the candidate's organization. A second should be from an immediate supervisor (or for self-employed applicants, a business associate) who knows the candidate well and has intimate knowledge of the candidate's work. Recommendations are completed online.

Essays
These essays demonstrate the candidate's ability to express thoughts clearly and effectively, and assist the committee in evaluating the candidate's character, maturity, personal and professional aspirations, and motivations for applying to the Tulane program.

Application Fee
Applicants must include a non-refundable $100 application fee in the form of a check or money order payable to Tulane University.

Computer Skills
Candidates will be required to use Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and must be prepared to produce documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using these programs.   You will also need a notebook computer for use in the program. Please click here for computer specs.

Essential Skills
To help you prepare for the demands of this curriculum, we have partnered with Harvard Business School Publishing to offer you online preparatory courses in Quantitative Methods, Spreadsheet Modeling (Excel), and Financial Accounting. All candidates, applicants, and accepted students are encouraged to enroll in these courses before the curriculum begins. In some cases, applicants may be required to complete one or more of these courses as an admission requirement.
