Admissions

Candidates are required to include two letters of reference as part of their application.

You will be asked to provide the names and email addresses for your references in the online application system. The system will automatically forward your referees a reference letter request.

Applicants will ideally hold a four-year undergraduate degree from a recognized institution with a minimum GPA of 3.0 over the last two years of study. For individuals with international education, please see our equivalent academic requirements.

When completing the online application, applicants will be required to scan and upload each page (front and back) of the most up-to-date official academic documents in PDF version.

1. Transcripts or Marksheet in Original Language
2. Marksheet in English Translation (if original is not in English)
3. Degree Certificate in Original Language
4. Degree Certificate in English Translation (if original is not in English)

Once you have received your official letter of admission, official academic documents must be sent to the University.

Candidates who do not hold an undergraduate degree, but have significant professional experience can be considered for the Alberta Executive MBA program. Please contact the Admissions Office to discuss your eligibility.

A statement of intent, approximately one to two pages in length, will be included with your application. The statement should outline why you are interested in the Alberta Executive MBA program, how your background and experiences are conducive to a collaborative learning environment, your expectations for the program, and how this degree relates to your professional/personal goals.

The most important entrance requirement for the Executive MBA program is professional work experience. We value diverse and unique experience in terms of position and industry, and candidates must have supervisory or management experience. On average, Executive MBA students have 15 years of progressively responsible experience, with a significant portion of that experience being at the senior leader level.

Your application will include a resume with sufficient details of your professional work experience. Education, volunteer experience, accomplishments achieved at work, and any extracurricular activities should also be highlighted.
