The Admissions Process
Our goal in admissions is to work closely with you to ensure your application process is personal, simple, and successful. We look for students who bring strengths and aspirations to our student-centered learning environment, and who possess the ability to be part of an MBA program in which they are the co-creators of their experience.

International Students
While the majority of the students in our evening program are domestic students, we do enroll a small number of international students, who are typically working for local companies.
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 in need of a visa are required to provide documentation guaranteeing financial support to fund 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 if a candidate moves on to the next stage of consideration. Those candidates selected for further consideration are contacted to arrange for an interview. Interviews are required for Evening MBA program applicants, and are conducted either by telephone or in person.
Application Deadline
The Evening MBA programs in Tucson and Phoenix start each year in January.
- Priority Deadline: July 15
- Second Deadline: September 15 (QTR Deadline)
