Application tips:


  • Resume: Please include months and years of employment for each job listed on your resume. Months need to be listed to allow the MBA program to accurately calculate and give you credit for your work experience.

  • Statement of Intent: We recommend that the statement of intent be one to two pages, single spaced. In addition to using the statement to express why you want to attend BYU and what you bring to the program, you may use it as a letter of explanation to bring to the admission committee's attention anything you would like to explain that is not addressed elsewhere.

  • Essay Responses: We recommend that each essay response be no more than one page single-spaced.

  • Letters of recommendation: The MBA application requires three professional letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation may only be submitted online; instructions are available in the online application.

  • Transcripts: Please wait to send your transcript to BYU until you've submitted your online application. If you graduated from BYU (Provo campus) you don't need to submit transcripts. Domestic applicants may upload an unofficial copy of a transcript to their application, but are still required to submit one official transcript from each university attended to Graduate Studies. International applicants must send all marksheets, transcripts, and diplomas for a credential evaluation to IERF. Evaluations should include a course-by-course evaluation and grade point average (GPA). Applicants should request an electronic copy be sent to BYU Graduate Studies.

  • Hard copy application materials: These materials will be processed and cleared by the Graduate Studies office, and forwarded to the MBA program for review. All paper application materials should be submitted together in one packet to:
    BYU Graduate Studies
