  1. After you have reviewed this material, we recommend that you speak with an academic adviser about your goals. Advisers are available in person and by telephone. Please call 410-516-4234 or email carey.info@jhu.edu.
  2. We consider a wide range of factors when reviewing your application for admission, including prior academic achievements, quality of work and leadership experiences, a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and, for some applicants, a personal interview. In addition, it is desirable for applicants to have at least two years of experience in the workplace - which could be in business, government, education or nonprofit organizations. Students who have less than two years work experience will be considered on an individual basis, providing that they can demonstrate the capacity for leadership and academic success.
  3. Please allow approximately four to six weeks for completion of the admissions process (from submission of a complete application packet to admissions decision). Applicants to cohort groups should check with their program for specific application deadlines. International applicants should check their specific application deadlines. After admission materials are received, the Carey Business School reviews the application and makes all admission decisions.
