Eligibility Criteria

Our application is robust, but it’s not difficult. More importantly, it’s a great way for you to showcase your credentials, demonstrate your communications savvy, and tell us why you’re a good fit for UNC Kenan-Flagler!

If you received a bachelor’s degree upon completion of a three-year undergraduate program, you are eligible to apply to our Full-Time MBA program. You will need to supply copies of your academic record and the diploma, degree certificate, or other documentation indicating the conferral date of your degree.

If you studied outside of the United States, you must have a college-level education equivalent to an American undergraduate or baccalaureate degree – the same as a first-university degree and, typically, is a four-year degree. If the original language of the academic record and diploma is not English, please submit a certified literal (not interpretive) English translation with the original document.

** An interview may be requested
