EXECUTIVE ADMISSION

The Graduate School of Management recognizes the qualities of business executives who have significant work experience, proven managerial success, and who warrant special consideration in regard to requirements for acceptance and graduation in the MBA program. The Admission Committee may allow a limited number of admission exceptions for those high level executives who show strong likelihood of success in the Lewis MBA program.
