Admission

Intercontinental MBA Program

This one-year, full-time program begins August 12, 2013, in Chicago, and the program admits new students to fall term only.

Application Process

To apply, you must submit a completed application form and the supporting materials by the appropriate deadline. Qualified candidates will be contacted and invited to interview with the program director. Interviews are by invitation only and are granted only to applicants who have completed their application file. Decisions will be communicated by mail and through our online application status check.

Applications continue to be accepted for the fall 2013 cohort. Completed applications will be reviewed, with admission based on the applicant's qualifications and space availability within the cohort. We encourage you to submit the online application form to express your interest. All applicants will be considered automatically for scholarships when their file is considered for admission.
