MBA Admission Requirements

JWMI sets you up for success from the moment when you decide to apply. Our admissions officers are available daily to help you navigate each step of the process, starting with the admission requirements.

Online MBA applicants

Applicants to the Jack Welch Management Institute’s Master of Business Administration program are required to provide:

  • Proof of completion of a United States Baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution, or approved equivalent
  • A 3.0 undergraduate grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale
  • A minimum of five years of professional work experience
  • A completed MBA application and enrollment agreement, as applicable
  • A valid current government-issued photo identification
  • Resume or LinkedIn profile
  • Personal essay
  • In addition to the above, special consideration may be given to applicants who do not meet minimum GPA admission requirements but show graduate potential and have a minimum of five years of professional or business experience. A personal interview with the Dean is required.

No GMAT/GRE required

At the Jack Welch Management Institute’s online MBA program, we don’t require the GMAT or GRE. Rather, we assess a student’s graduate potential by looking at several real-life indicators—including professional work history, undergraduate grade point average, and a commitment to being a great leader.

In fact, our admission requirements align with the majority of top 25 online MBA programs ranked by the Princeton Review.

For more information on why we don’t require a GMAT or GRE, please read Mary Carr’s, Dean of Curriculum and Content, article Why We Don’t Require the GMAT.

International online MBA applicants

All international applicants must have the equivalent of a U.S. degree. If you obtained your Bachelor’s degree outside of the U.S., JWMI will work with NACES, the National Association of Credential Evaluations Services, on your behalf to initiate a credential evaluation process that will equate your transcripts to a GPA for evaluation.

In addition, a Canadian-conferred 3-year’s Bachelor’s degree is now accepted as a basis of MBA admission. Applicants must also meet all other MBA admission requirements.

Limited scholarship opportunities are available for international students in certain cases. Please call 1.855.596.5964 to speak with an admissions officer for more information.
