Attach a current resume to your Online Application Form.

If you will be applying for a GMAT/GRE Waiver, please be certain that your resume reflects years of experience in each position held. Please see the GMAT/GRE section below for more information on this waiver.

Attach an essay to your Online Application Form.

The essay should be approximately one to two pages in length and should address the following question:

MBA & MAcc Programs:

Describe how personal experiences have shaped your academic and career goals and highlight how our graduate program will advance them. What experience best illustrates your ability to meet the rigors of our graduate program?

MTWM Program:

What lies ahead for you in your career?  What are the gaps or deficiencies currently preventing you from pursuing these potential career paths?  How do you plan to use your time in the Campbell MTWM program to fill these gaps and advance your career?  

Submit official copies of transcripts from all universities attended.

Transcripts can be ordered through the BusinessCAS application (electronic or paper) to be sent directly to BusinessCAS for upload.

Campbell University alumni and 4+1 MBA applicants do not need to request Campbell University transcripts for their application. Transcripts will be uploaded once their application has been submitted.

Recommendations will be collected through the Online Application. Applicants will enter the first and last name, along with email address, for each recommender.  We recommend choosing a due date within 2-3 weeks from the recommendation request unless the application due date is sooner; do not pick the application due date if more than 3 weeks away. Recommenders will receive a link via email to provide their recommendation. 

The number of recommendations required varies by program:

• Campbell MBA: 1 letter of recommendation
• 4+1 MBA: 2 letters of recommendation (one from a business school faculty member)
• MTWM: 1 letter of recommendation 
• MAcc: 1 letter of recommendation
• Dual Degree MBA: Letters of recommendation from the partner program application will be used for your MBA application, therefore no additional recommendations are required
• Professional Development : No letters of recommendation are required

Applicants should take the GMAT or GRE and have the score report sent to the School of Business Graduate Admissions Office.

Applicants to the Professional Development program are not required to take the these tests, since this is non-degree seeking program. Should you later decide to apply for the MBA program, scores will be required at that time.
