Question about minimum qualifications

by snowman » Sat Nov 04, 2006 7:38 pm
Hi,

My question is related to minimum qualifications required to be considered for adminission to an Executive MBA program. Most of the schools are looking for an Accredited Undergradute Degree or equivalent.

I have 16 years of education but my degree is not considered to be accredited. I do have 13 years of professional experience including 8 years in project management and team leadership. My current employer is supporting and encouraging me to pursue an EMBA program. I'm afraid that not having an accredited degree might become an issue during my application process.

Just wanted to see if I would qualify for an EMBA program like Darden, Georgetown, or Smith in Maryland.

Thanks

I suggest you call each program directly. I think there could be a problem with programs that are not accredited, but there are always differences between schools, and there are often exceptions for individual cases.

Hi Stacy,

Thanks for your response. I feel more confident now :-) I'll contact all the schools directly and see what they say.
