Applicant Interview

The interview is the final and most insightful piece of the MBA application process. Because a holistic review is quintessential for our program in molding the strongest and most diverse cohorts of leaders, the interview allows the committee to dive deeper into the applicant’s business acumen, goals, and aspirations in this program. The interview is conducted with either the Director or one of the Assistant Directors of admissions or a currernt MBA student.

Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $70 is required, but may be waived for active duty military personnel, veterans, or CU Boulder alumni. Application fees may be paid by credit card, and applications will not be reviewed without payment of the fee. Do not send cash. Application fees are not refundable and will not be waived, except for active duty military personnel.

Resume

Applicants are required to submit a copy of their current resume or Vita. Word, RTF or PDF files only. Resumes will be used during the MBA interview.
