The minimum graduate admission requirement includes a business-related bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution prior to enrollment. Copies of your unofficial transcripts from each accredited college or university attended must be uploaded to the online application. Once admitted to the program, instructions for sending official, sealed transcripts will be provided.
Your current résumé or CV can list and describe your educational history, work or job history, coursework related to the graduate program to which you are applying, and any experiences relevant to your pursuit of graduate studies – including internships, published articles or other published materials, volunteer and/or community service experience, study or work outside of your home country, and any other interests or activities related to your graduate program.
Two letters of recommendation are required. Applicants to all programs should submit at least one letter from a professional contact, if possible. Ideally, one or both of your professional recommendations will come from a current or former direct supervisor. Academic recommendations are also appreciated for current undergraduates.
A 1000 word essay is required and must be uploaded in the online application. Please address the following questions in a single document:
• What are your short and long-term professional goals and how will this degree help you achieve those goals? • Why have you chosen this degree and who or what experience influenced you to apply? • Why Menlo College?
