Updated, Flexible Test Requirements

We recently updated our standardized test requirements in the interest of greater flexibility for applicants. The Full-Time MBA program will now accept the GRE, GMAT, GMAT Focus or the Executive Assessment (EA) — or alternatively, applicants may opt out of submitting a test score and instead share examples of coursework, certifications or professional experience that demonstrate their quantitative and analytical abilities in a brief essay.

What We Look For

We define our community by three core qualities: We share success, think fearlessly and drive change. Here are some of the attributes we strive for at UCLA Anderson and look for in prospective applicants:

By Share Success we mean our students should be collaborative and supportive of one another, fully engaged in academic explorations, and be thoughtful when they achieve success.

When we say Think Fearlessly, we’re looking for people who are passionate, inquisitive and analytical while striving for innovation.

View Faculty

We’re also looking for those who Drive Change by being original and productive in pursuit of meaningful impact. This means maintaining an optimistic viewpoint during challenging times, employing strategic thinking and, most important, being resilient.
