Introduction
The Executive MBA (EMBA) program is a 21-month program for experienced mid-level executives with a bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of professional, managerial, or entrepreneurial experience. Classes meet all day Friday and Saturday and every other weekend.
Executive MBA students bring a deep understanding of the workplace and managerial experience into the classroom. Their diverse knowledge base becomes an important shared-learning tool for fellow students, creating a broad range of perspectives on wide-ranging business issues and contributing to a challenging and enriching learning environment. You will enter and graduate as a group having experienced a high level of collaborative learning and exposure to real-world business situations taught from an executive management level perspective.
The current program began in August 2010 and ends in May 2012.
Application Process
The Executive MBA program requires a Bachelor’s degree with an acceptable level of scholarship from an accredited institution of higher learning and six or more years of increasing responsibility in professional, management, or entrepreneurial positions.
Admission to the Executive MBA program is individualized and based on a candidate’s potential to pursue graduate study. Each candidate is evaluated on the cumulative evidence received including, but not limited to, work and management experience, career accomplishments, potential for advancement, letters of recommendation, personal interview, information provided in the application form, undergraduate and graduate (if any) record, and GMAT (if required). Selection is based on academic potential without regard to race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability.
How to Apply
Application deadline was July 1, 2010, for the Executive MBA class that started in August 2010. Applications received after the deadline will be considered if spaces are available.
- Schedule your personal interview
Candidates for the Executive MBA must have an interview with a member of the admissions committee. If you are considering candidacy, you are encouraged to interview early in the admissions process to assess the fit between the program and your experience, expectations, and personal development needs, and to determine if you are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
- Complete the application for admission
Please type or print clearly. Give your full legal name.
- Include a $100 application fee
This is non-refundable. Your check should be made out to Loyola Marymount University. If a check is written for you by someone else, please make sure your name appears on its face.
- Send for official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended
Official records must be sent directly from the registrar of the issuing institution to EMBA Admissions. Transcripts submitted will not be returned, nor will copies be forwarded by LMU to other institutions.
- Request two letters of recommendation
You should request these from persons with whom you have closely worked and who can evaluate your abilities, accomplishments, and potential. Where applicable, at least one letter should come from your supervisor. Recommenders should use one of the postage paid envelopes provided by EMBA Admissions to send their letters directly to EMBA Admissions.
- Obtain your company’s sponsorship
You must have a support statement from your employer acknowledging that you will be given the necessary time off from work to attend classes and other official program functions. Please have your employer complete the proper form and send it to EMBA Admissions using the postage paid envelope provided.
- Provide the official score of your Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), if required
The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is required only if your prior academic work and professional experience does not show clear evidence of strong quantitative and analytical reasoning skills. A determination that the GMAT is required will be made after your personal interview and application screening. If the GMAT is required, your results should be sent to EMBA Admissions (ETS code 4403).
The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) that is available year-round at test centers throughout the world. Visit the MBA Explorer® website at http://www.mbaexplorer.com for quick answers to most of your questions and the latest GMAT information. If you have additional questions, contact an Educational Testing Service customer service representative at 609.921.9000. Telephone lines are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., EST.
- Review and Notification
A formal notice will be sent to each candidate after the application and complete records are received, the interview conducted, and the admission committee has made its recommendation. If you are admitted, you will be expected to confirm your commitment with a non-refundable payment of $1,000. This pre-payment will be applied to tuition charges and will reserve one of the LMU EMBA positions for you.
