Evaluation Criteria

The MBA program is designed for ambitious professionals who aspire to become the leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. We specifically target:

    • High-potential candidates with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
    • Emerging leaders who demonstrate initiative, collaboration, and leadership potential.
    • Professionals with diverse experiences—whether in research, industry, or creative fields—who can contribute unique perspectives to the program.
    • Motivated individuals seeking to thrive in today’s dynamic and rapidly changing business environment.

Our holistic admissions approach ensures we identify not only academic excellence, but also qualities such as professional experience, research potential, publications, and other forms of achievement that reflect a candidate’s readiness to contribute and grow.

 


University Degree

Score

Work Experience

Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree to be eligible for admission to the MBA program. A minimum GPA of 80 (equivalent to a 3.3 on the AUB scale) is required.

Applicants with GPA between 75 and 80 may be admitted on probation, provided they meet the remaining admission requirements.​


The GMAT score we look at is a balance of both the quantitative and verbal score. ​

Work experience is essential for applicants to fully benefit from the MBA experience. A minimum of two years of professional experience after earning a bachelor’s degree is required.​

​​

Note: All students who don't have an undergraduate degree from AUB, or any American, Canadian, British or Australian University, must meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement (ELPR) of the University.
