The Eller College welcomes the cultural experience and knowledge that international applicants add to the program. In addition to the materials listed in the Application Requirements, international applicants are required to submit the following:
- TOEFL scores
- Official transcripts and two copies of diploma(s) both in native language and in English
- Financial guarantee*
* All international applicants to the Eller MBA program are required to provide documentation guaranteeing financial support to fund both years of the MBA program. A Financial Guarantee Form is included in the application. This form will provide the legal document used to process your visa application.
Interviews
Upon an initial screening of an applicant's file, the Admissions Committee determines whether a candidate moves on to the next stage of consideration. Those candidates selected for further consideration are contacted to arrange a required interview, which may be conducted in person on campus, or on location during recruiting fairs worldwide (see a comprehensive list of cities on the Full-Time MBA site). Telephone interviews can be arranged for international applicants and for those applicants who reside outside of Arizona.
Application Deadlines
The Accelerated MBA program starts once a year in June.
- Priority Deadline: October 15
- Final Deadline: February 15
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants can expect our admissions decision within four weeks of submitting their complete application.
