Requirements

At the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, we consider a range of criteria when reviewing applications for admission:

  • Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended (if applicants earned degrees or credit from educational institutions abroad, their academic records must be evaluated by a credential evaluation agency before they can be considered for admission)
  • A resume, exhibiting:
    • strong potential for success as a student, leader, and manager
    • active community involvement
  • An essay, demonstrating excellent communication skills and stating clear personal and professional goals
  • Letters of recommendation for specified degree, certificate, or post-master's programs. Note: there is no standard form, but the recommended format is a signed business letter on letterhead from colleagues in a supervisory/managerial position. These colleagues should know the applicant well, be aware of the applicant's academic/professional goals, and believe that the applicant is a suitable candidate for the program for which the applicant is applying.
  • GMAT or GRE scores for specified degree or certificate programs
  • Non-native speakers must provide TOEFL scores unless granted a waiver. To request a waiver from the TOEFL, download the TOEFL Waiver Request Form and submit it to the Office of Admissions.

Application Essay

The Admissions Committee at the Carey Business School wants to understand if what students want out of a program coincides with what the curriculum has to offer. Applicants are encouraged to write a complete essay including information regarding the following:

  1. What are my learning needs? What are the skills and competencies I want to develop?
  2. What are my career goals? What does that look like short-term and long-term?
  3. What outcomes am I expecting as a result of my graduate experience? What do I want this graduate program to enable me to do?
  4. How will this graduate program enable me to meet the needs and goals I've identified?

Admission to Other Schools in the University

If you are a Carey Business School student who wishes to transfer to one of the other schools in the university (such as Engineering, Public Health, or Peabody), you are required to submit an admissions application to that school. Admission to the Carey Business School establishes no claim or priority for admission to any other school in the university.
