Business (MBA)

At Nebraska, we know enrolling in an MBA program is a big commitment, so we work hard to make sure you receive a greater return on your investment of time and money. 

MBA@Nebraska allows you to advance your career while you work. Our flexible curriculum includes fully online courses offered in 8-week sessions, so you can either take multiple classes per semester or concentrate on one course at a time. Online courses typically include lectures, case studies, simulations, discussion boards, and optional synchronous webinars. If it's crunch time at work, you can easily take a session off and then jump right back into your coursework.

Our 48-credit hour program consists of 10 core classes and 6 electives. With your MBA elective courses, you can choose to earn a specialization in business analytics, finance, human resource management, international business, marketing, or supply chain management. The only prerequisite course is an undergraduate course in statistics.

All active duty or honorably discharged military personnel receive a 15% tuition discount for online graduate business courses used in their graduate business degree.

• Entrance exam(s): Applicants are not required to submit a GMAT/GRE test score. Any scores submitted in the application must be considered in the admission decision. It is recommended to submit a test score only if you believe it will strengthen your application. Applicants who submit a GMAT/GRE score of 650 or above will automatically be considered for graduate scholarships/fellowships.
• Minimum English proficiency: Paper TOEFL 550, Internet TOEFL 80, IELTS 6.5
• Professional Resume: Your resume should include relevant work experience, education, skills, and involvement.
• Personal Statement: The personal statement is evaluated on content, sentence structure, and grammar. It should be 750 words or less and should touch on the following: your past experience and relevant skills, what you would contribute to our program, your short and long term professional goals, and how this degree would assist you in achieving your goals.
• Recommenders/References: Three references are required; all three must be former or current supervisors or professors. Nebraska will contact your references only if the committee deems it necessary. You do NOT need to include letters of recommendation.

Prospective students will be evaluated on the basis of work experience (including military service), personal statement, undergraduate degree, and performance (recommended minimum 3.0 GPA), prior graduate study, and standardized test scores (GMAT or GRE). These do not guarantee admission; they ensure that the application will be reviewed for admission. Applicants who are denied admission will need to submit a new application and application fee if they choose to reapply in future semesters.

July 15 for Fall. December 1 for Spring. April 1 for Summer.

Applications may be accepted after these dates, but there is no guarantee they will be processed in time for the semester indicated. If you apply after these dates, you may be considered for a later semester.
