Overview
Deferred Enrollment
Secure your spot in a future MBA class now. Believe in yourself. We believe in you.
Our deferred enrollment program provides a path for eligible candidates to apply now, take one to four years to gain professional experience, and then embark on their MBA journey.
Key Benefits
Deferred enrollment is designed for students without full-time work experience to:
- Pursue opportunities that enable you to build expertise, enhance your skills and knowledge, expand your perspective, and develop professional judgment and self-confidence.
- Explore an industry (or two) before earning your MBA if you are unsure about your long-term professional path, especially if you are a college senior.
- Prepare for certain industries — private equity, biotechnology, and management consulting, in particular — which tend to recruit MBA candidates who have pre-MBA work experience or specialized knowledge in that field.
