SUBMITTING APPLICATION DOCUMENTS

2. Submit your transcripts from all previous institutions.

A bachelor’s degree in any field is required for admittance into the UBalt MBA program. The undergraduate GPA for admitted students typically ranges from 2.9 to 4.0. Admitted MBA students have average cumulative GPAs of 3.2 and come from a variety of academic majors.

Graduate coursework will be taken into account, although a key factor for all applicants is the undergraduate GPA. Request your official transcripts as soon as possible, as they can take time to print, prepare and mail. The Office of Admission requires original transcripts from all universities you’ve attended. It’s easiest to have the institution send your transcript directly to us.

If you are mailing an institution’s transcript, do not break the seal upon receipt. If you attended a non-U.S. institution, you must provide the official transcript and a transcript evaluation with a course-by-course analysis conducted by a transcript evaluation service such as World Education Services.
3. Submit your resume.

Send your resume to our team via email. One of the strengths of the UBalt MBA is the composition of our student body and their work experience. The program has a legacy of educating working adults, which translates into purposeful, active and engaging classroom discussions.

While work experience is not a requirement for admission, the majority of our students have work experience and come from a wide variety of managerial and leadership roles in business, healthcare, financial services, education, government, consulting, manufacturing, and the nonprofit sector.

The diversity of our students’ experiences is leveraged in the classroom, and creates lasting professional networks. Our students are a great mix of people looking to enhance or even change their careers, while others are looking to gain the knowledge to start their own businesses.
4. Submit your personal statement.

Your personal statement is important, so take your time writing it. Please submit it to documents@ubalt.edu. Clearly tell the admissions committee more about your background and interests.

Please highlight any senior-level professional experience and submit documentation for professional certifications (e.g., CPA, CFA, PMP, etc.). Include your thoughts about how the University of Baltimore MBA program will assist you in achieving your academic and professional development goals.

Make sure your essay is well written and exhibits a high level of academic and professional competency. Again, don’t forget to proofread for grammatical and spelling errors.
5. Submit one letter of recommendation.

One recommendation letter is required for candidates with a GPA less than 3.0. It should come from someone with the ability to evaluate your academic aptitude and/or professional experience, such as a professor, supervisor, project partner, or mentor.

Candidates with a GPA above 3.0 are not required to submit a letter of recommendation but it is welcomed.

Examples should include details of your work history, thoughts on your competence as an employee, an explanation of why they think you’d be a successful MBA candidate, description of you academic ability, etc. Ask the writers to put their letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes with their signatures on the back flap.

Give those individuals who are writing your letters of recommendation at least two weeks—but preferably a month—to complete the task. This allows them to take their time and communicate their thoughts and recommendations of the likelihood that you will succeed in the program.
6. Test Scores: GMAT submission is optional, however...

The GMAT is not required as a part of the MBA admission process. We will accept exceptional GMAT scores as part of you package and as an evaluation element for the "Dean’s MBA Scholarship." The Admission Committee holistically considers your transcripts, work experience, personal statement and professional recommendation in the evaluation process.

Applicants with a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.5 may apply for the “Dean’s MBA Scholarship.”

UBalt considers varying levels of scholarships for all admitted students who have strong applications.
