ADMISSION

The MBA Admission Committee seeks candidates who give evidence of strong leadership potential and are prepared to compete successfully in a rigorous course of study. Students may begin their MBA studies in any academic term. No undergraduate major is deemed preferable to another.

Applicants can enroll in the Lewis MBA program throughout the year, and may begin the program in any of our academic sessions. Applicants are encouraged to apply early enough prior to their intended start date in order to get the application materials completed and get the best selection of courses to choose from.
