Admission Process and Dates

The UBC MBA Part-time Program has an annual intake in early January. Important dates for admission and the program start are listed below.

UBC uses a rolling admissions process; applications are evaluated in the order which they are completed. Therefore, it is to your advantage to submit your complete application and all supporting documentation as early as possible before the application deadline. We strive to inform applicants of our admission decision within 4-6 weeks of an application completing.

Admissions Process

Application Materials
You are encouraged to submit your application and all supporting documentation before the application deadline. Once we receive all supporting documentation, your file will become "complete" and will be sent to the admissions committee for review. We are not able to send your file to the admissions committee until all required documentation has been received by our office. All submitted application materials, including irreplaceable documents, become the property of the Sauder School of Business and will not be returned.

Applicant Screening and Acceptance
The Admissions Committee carefully evaluates the entire applicant profile as presented through academic records, Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores, full-time work experience, essays, letters of recommendations and an admissions interview. Each application is assessed independently from other applications.

Admission Interviews
The interview is the final stage of the admission process. All candidates being serious considered for admission are interviewed prior to gaining admission to the UBC MBA program. The admissions committee or MBA Programs Office will contact you directly if you are selected for an interview.

Confirmation of Acceptance
Upon receipt of an offer of admission, students must submit a non-refundable and non-transferable deposit in Canadian currency. This deposit will be credited towards your tuition.

Deferred Admission       

Students accepted into the MBA program are not permitted to defer admission.

 

Please contact our office if you have any questions or application difficulties.
