Prerequisites and Deadlines

Prerequisites

We welcome applications from all undergraduate majors and all work experience levels, as we seek to admit a diverse group of students with unique backgrounds and experiences. As such, there are no specific class prerequisites for the Manderson MBA program.

The College of Commerce and Business Administration at the University of Alabama has adopted Microsoft Office products to support classroom instruction. MBA students will be expected to work in all five Office applications - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook - during their MBA program of study.

Deadlines

The Manderson Graduate School of Business MBA Admissions Committee is excited to begin the application process in the fall of each year. Decisions are then made on a rolling basis throughout the fall and spring semesters. Candidates are normally notified of admission and scholarship decisions within two weeks of receipt of all application materials. Due to our limited class size, applicants are encouraged to submit all application materials as early as possible.

(Also, please note that entry into the MBA program occurs only in the fall semester -- our program is structured such that is not possible to begin enrollment in the spring semester.)
