Fall 2025 Application Deadlines

See all upcoming deadlines here.

Applicants must submit a total of two required essays. The first essay topic is required for all applicants and must be responded to directly. You will choose your second essay topic from the list provided on the application. It is important to express your original thoughts and incorporate your individual voice in response to these questions.

Be sure your statements capture who you are, what you believe, and what you aspire to do. In addition:

• Use a 12-point font and double space your document
• Indicate which question you are answering at the beginning of each essay
• Do not mail paper copies of your essay to Admissions
• Upload all required essays
• Essays should be 300-500 words

You will also have the optional opportunity to provide any additional clarifying information that you wish to share with the Admissions committee regarding your academic record, personal history, or professional attributes.

Official transcripts from all U.S. schools must be sent electronically. All U.S. transcripts must be from an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education. Please visit your school’s website to request an official transcript be sent electronically to carey.admissions.transcripts@jhu.edu.

We require transcripts from all institutions where you have attempted more than 15 credits. Final transcripts must show the degrees you have earned. Your admission decision may be delayed if you do not send transcripts from all colleges/universities attended.

If your school does not participate in an electronic transcript submission system, send official sealed transcripts to the address below:

Office of Admissions
Johns Hopkins Carey Business School
100 International Drive
Baltimore, MD 21202

We require a resume or a CV. Please be sure to have your resume or CV fully updated, and include both the months and years of your various work experiences as strong career experience is preferred.

Who should write your letter of recommendation? We suggest someone who knows you personally and who can speak directly about your strengths and experience. Do not focus on the person in your company at the highest level.

Be sure that you have been in their class, have reported to them directly, and/or you have shared your interest in graduate school with them.

• Please use your recommender’s work email address rather than a personal account like Gmail, which will be more closely monitored in our credential verification process.
• Recommendations from relatives and friends are strongly discouraged.
• One recommendation is required. We will read up to two.

Applicants to our part-time programs including the Flexible MBA, part-time Master of Science, and certificate programs are not required to take the GMAT or the GRE. However, if you would like to submit a GMAT or GRE test score to enrich your application, you are welcome to do so within the application. We accept scores from both the GMAT and the GRE that are up to five years old and do not have a preference for either test. Be sure to do your research on which exam is best for you. Have your scores sent directly to Carey Business School.
