In the face of the uncertainties and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Auburn MBA Programs’ top priorities are the health, safety and well-being of our current and future students, faculty and staff. To this end, we want to remove as many barriers as possible to those wishing to apply for admissions into our EMBA program for Fall 2021.

The EMBA program will continue to accept qualified applicants for Fall Semester 2021. Test scores (GMAT or GRE) are NOT required, and interviews are being conducted through distance conferencing. Applicants to our Executive MBA program must have 8 years of professional experience to be eligible. If you would like to learn more about how the Auburn Executive MBA program can impact your career and personal goals, please schedule a consultation with our program admissions advisor.
