Admissions

Valparaiso University's Graduate Programs in Management operate on a rolling admission basis with 6 different start terms throughout the year.  Our most popular start term is Fall and we encourage students interested in Fall enrollment to apply no later than the June 15th before the August start date.  For 2008 our Fall start date is August 25, 2008.

Students are encouraged to apply at any point throughout the year as there are currently no application deadlines.  Students are admitted as their applications become complete and there is space available. 

Admissions decisions are made on a holistic basis with consideration give to undergraduate/post-undergraduate academic performance, applicable full-time work experience, letters of recommendation, and the GMAT.
