EMBA Admissions

At Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, we seek individuals who endeavor to enrich the business environment and who also possess diversity in every sense of the word: gender, age, ethnicity, variety of industry and job function, and geographic location.

Applicants to Georgetown’s Executive MBA (EMBA) Program are required to hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in the United States or the equivalent from an international college or university. A business background is not required; however, all applicants should demonstrate high potential for leadership.

Additionally, applicants to our EMBA Program must possess a minimum of eight years of work experience and are required to submit for review a resume, a statement of purpose, two letters of recommendation, a letter of support from their current employer, and official transcripts from all academic course work. EMBA applicants also are required to take the GMAT or GRE exam and interview with a member of the admissions staff.

“Going back to school seemed the right step [after a career on Capitol Hill], but was made complicated by having a young family. So I conducted some research on business schools in the region and recognized the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University as the best program by far from a strategy perspective. I also liked that Georgetown offered a greater international experience.”
