Application Process

In order to expedite the process, applicants are required to apply online. Please review the following detailed application instructions carefully before completing the application.

Currently our application system requires you to complete two separate forms. One application is specific to the Oregon MBA (Oregon MBA Departmental Application) and the other is the University of Oregon's Graduate Admissions form.

In order to review your application, it must be complete. An application is not considered complete until all of the materials listed below have been received. You will receive an email confirmation from our office once your application is complete.

Admission notification is typically 30-45 days AFTER your application is completed. If you are offered admission, you will receive an offer reply form along with your admission letter, allowing you to accept, deny, or defer the admission offer.

Degree in Progress: If you have not yet finished your degree at the time of application, you will still need to submit your in-progress "unofficial" transcript via the MBA online departmental application. However, you do NOT need to send your official (in-progress) transcript to the Office of the Registrar until AFTER your degree is conferred and the degree and award date are printed on the transcript.

Degree Certificate: If your degree and degree award date are not posted on the transcript, as is the case with most international transcripts, you will need to include the related degree certificate with your transcript.
