Valparaiso University's Graduate School of Business operates on a rolling admission basis with 6 different start terms throughout the year.
Students are encouraged to apply at any point throughout the year. Students are admitted as their applications become complete on a first come, first served basis as long as there is space available.
When applying to a business school, you are required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), a standardized test used by universities to evaluate an applicant's academic performance. For more information on the GMAT, please visit www.gmat.com.
Our next available term start date is Fall II. We encourage domestic students interested in Fall II enrollment to apply no later than October 9th. For International students, the next start date is Spring I, which begins January 4th. International students interested in Spring I enrollment should apply no later than October 30th.
Admission decisions are made on a holistic basis with consideration given to undergraduate/post-undergraduate academic performance, applicable full-time work experience, letters of recommendation, and the GMAT.
