All applicants must apply to the FEMBA program online. The online application will walk you through each step. The application fee is $200. Note that there are three admission rounds, each with its corresponding deadlines and decision release dates.

Begin Application

Applicants must hold a completed four-year bachelor’s degree or equivalent from an accredited university. We accept all majors and backgrounds. All corresponding official undergraduate and graduate transcripts (if applicable) must be ordered prior to submitting an application and must be received by the respective deadline. Schools take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks to send official documents, so please plan ahead.

All applicants must take the GMAT,  GRE or Executive Assessment*. Any of the three is fine and there is no minimum score. For UCLA Anderson School of Management, the GMAT and Executive Assessment school code is 2NZ2F44. The GRE school code is 0727.

*The Executive Assessment is an option for applicants with at least ten years or more of full-time work experience.

Applicants must submit an updated resume. The average work experience of FEMBA students is seven years, with all backgrounds considered.

Two letters of recommendation are needed from individuals who are well acquainted with your performance in a work setting, preferably a direct supervisor or manager.

Please give the essay questions in your online application your full, undivided attention. The clarity with which you communicate your accomplishments and goals factors heavily in the FEMBA selection process.

After submitting your application, you will be prompted to register for an optional on-campus interview. This face-to-face interview affords you the opportunity to personalize your candidacy even further.

Reapplicants are those who submitted a completed FEMBA application within the previous two years (i.e., for the classes that began in fall 2016 or fall 2017) and received a final decision.
