Executive MBA Admissions Process
A holistic approach is used to evaluate each candidate, and no one factor will exclude an applicant from consideration. The Exective MBA Program is designed for experienced professionals. A minimum of three years of work experience with evidence of knowledge and potential growth are important factors. Potential candidates must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. In certain circumstances, an applicant may be invited for a personal interview.
Each applicant will be evaluated individually. The admissions committee seeks a diverse class with a variety of backgrounds. Solid recommendations from individuals who are in a position to evaluate professional or academic strengths along with a clear and well-written personal essay can positively affect the admission decision.
The program is open to graduates of all disciplines and does not require course work in business. Students without business degrees are highly encouraged to participate in the education refresher courses.
Hawai'i Pacific University operates on a rolling admission basis so applicants are encouraged to apply early. Admission decisions are made as soon as all necessary documents have been received. Once a decision has been made, applicants are generally notified within one week.
