Application checklist
Use this checklist to ensure your application is complete. If you have questions
or need any assistance in assembling your application, please review the instructions
in our online or paper applications, or consult with our Admissions professionals.
Admissions staff for the EMBA and HCEMBA programs can be reached at (949)
824 0561. A completed application for our Executive MBA or Health Care
Executive MBA programs should include:
- Completed Application Form. (online
application)
- U.S. $150.00 nonrefundable application fee. May be paid by Visa, MasterCard
or a check or money order in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank, made out to
"UC Regents."
- A resume detailing your full-time work history. Substantive work experience
is an important criterion for admission to our Executive MBA programs. EMBA
applicants should include an organizational chart reflecting your level and
scope of responsibility. HCEMBA applicants may include this information, also,
if you believe it will be helpful in our evaluation of your experience.
- Two letters of recommendation. Recommendations provide important information
about your performance in professional settings and about your potential to
take on additional leadership responsibility. The most valuable recommendations
come from people who will be able to relate specific and relevant details
about your performance. Letters from your current employer or supervisor,
or from recent employers or supervisors, are typically most helpful.
- Self-Evaluation Essays, as detailed in the application, explaining why you
are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in management and how a degree
from The Paul Merage School of Business would further those interests. Two
essays give you the proper forum to discuss work experience, community and
professional leadership, and accomplishments. The third "essay"
is a memo to your supervisor that we expect to be written in appropriate memo-format.
- One copy of official transcripts of all previous academic work. A bachelor's
degree or equivalent from a recognized academic institution of acceptable
standing. Ordinarily, an overall undergraduate grade point average of B (3.0
on a 4.0 scale) or better is required.
- The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is not required. Candidates
lacking evidence of quantitative skills are highly recommended to submit a
GMAT score to strengthen their application.
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
scores for students whose primary language is not English. You are responsible
for having your TOEFL scores sent directly to UC Irvine. If you have questions
about whether you will need to take the TOEFL, please contact our Admissions
staff.
- Signature of applicant (Honor Pledge)
- 5 Applicant address labels (for future correspondence)
