Simon MS to MBA

Did you know Simon MS graduates can apply for admission to the Simon EMBA? If admitted, a significant portion of prior MS credits will transfer, which means you’ll complete the program in approximately half the time.

Admission to the Simon EMBA requires a 3.1 cumulative GPA in the Simon MS degree, as well as meeting other standard admission criteria. The Admissions Committee will use all previously submitted MS application materials, in addition to the EMBA application, to make a final decision regarding admission. Please note that MS coursework from 10 or more years ago is subject to faculty review.
