Please note: If you choose the Pre-MBA option, you will eventually need to complete the formal admission process, and receive a positive admission decision, in order to continue in the program.
How to Apply for Pre-MBA Status
See more information about Pre-MBA status.
- Submit the online application by the appropriate deadline.
- Upload resume, which should include your employment history with job titles, dates of employment (including month and year), company names, and employment summaries. Also, include your educational background with cumulative GPAs and the dates of degrees awarded.
- Upload unofficial transcripts. (These transcripts must show your degree and conferral date.)
US Institutions: An unofficial copy of your academic transcripts from all previous institutions attended (both undergraduate and graduate) is sufficient for Pre-MBA review. Please note official transcripts will be required when submitting an application for formal admission. (Former University of Iowa students do not need to submit a UI transcript or other transcripts previously submitted.)
Non-US Institutions: You need to submit your official marks sheets (transcripts) and diploma, as well as translated copies if the originals are not in English. The originals are required for review but will be returned to you. Often MBA-PM staff can make arrangements to pick up the documents, deliver them to the Office of Admissions, and personally return them to you. To make such arrangements, please contact us.
Official transcripts should be sent to the Admissions Office at:
