execMBA Program Profile
MU’s new execMBA is a lock-step, cohort program offering working professionals the opportunity to maintain their employment while earning an MBA degree from a nationally-ranked school. The curriculum is delivered in a unique hybrid model which is 75% online and 25% face-to-face. You will work closely with a small, select group of executives in a curriculum designed to build skills that increase self- and global-awareness, develop strategic risk taking, and heighten influence.
Over the 21-month duration of the program, you will interact with your classmates online and in-person on 8 weekend visits to campus and an 8-10 day international residency in Santiago, Chile.
Admissions
The Crosby daytime MBA welcomes students from all academic backgrounds. There are no prerequisites. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis between deadlines. You may apply up until the start of the Fall semester. The criteria for admissions include:
- Quality of undergraduate work
- Score on the GMAT or GRE
- Prior employment experiences (post-graduate full-time work strongly encouraged, but not required)
- Quality of essay responses
- Leadership, community involvement and service
- Interview (if requested by MU MBA program)
The execMBA program evaluates all applications carefully to select a highly talented and motivated entering class of working professionals. Application deadlines are in late winter and spring and there is one entering class per year in early August. A GMAT or GRE score will be considered, but is not required. Interviews are by invitation only.
Applicants should submit:
- Prior transcripts
- Personal Statement
- Resume
- A signed letter of endorsement from your employer which indicates that the necessary time will be provided for you to attend the in-person class meetings (e.g. orientation, Fridays/Saturdays, international trip)
- Recommendation letters (optional)
- MU Graduate School application.
Cost
The University of Missouri’s Veterans Center will assist and certify you for your VA educational benefits. MU is a Yellow Ribbon school so if you qualify under that program, you will not pay any tuition. You can contact the Veterans Center office directly at 573-884-4383 or 573-884-4388 and the staff will help you understand and apply for your benefits.
The Crosby daytime MBA offers significant financial awards to over half of our students, and can supplement your veterans benefits so that you graduate with little or no debt. Most students work as a graduate assistant and gain valuable experience while earning a $5000 or more per year stipend. We can help you afford to go to school full-time and achieve your goals.
MU’s execMBA program is competitively priced at $65,000 which includes tuition, all fees, an international residency, all required course materials and all group meals on campus. In addition to using your military benefits, many employers offer educational benefits. We encourage prospective students to check with their employers about an IRS educational support deduction for the employer of $5,250/year over three years.
