Boot Camp
We’ve transformed the traditional prerequisites into an intensive, smart Boot Camp. The advantage for you is, once admitted, direct entry into the MBA program after a two-week workshop that targets the content and skills needed to be successful as a graduate business student.
Based on the overall weight of their academic background, some students may be asked to delay application to the program until further work at the undergraduate level is completed.
