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.
A completed application consists of:
- Oregon MBA Departmental Application
The departmental application provides additional information that is needed to complete your application for the Lundquist College of Business Oregon MBA program.
- UO Graduate Admission Application and non-refundable $70.00 (U.S. applicants) or $90.00 (international applicants) application fee
UO Graduate Admission Application
The UO Graduate application requires a different login and password from the departmental application.
The "major" to select is: Business, MBA
Applicants will be required to pay the non-refundable application fee at the time the UO Graduate Admission Online Application is submitted. If you decide to apply to a different year or start term that is outside of the current academic year, you will need to create a new username and pay the non-refundable application fee again.
