The application process to the Freeman MBA program is entirely online. All applications are reviewed for admissions on a holistic basis. After an initial review some applicants will be invited for a personal interview. Because the Freeman applicant pool is so geographically diverse, most of the interviews are done by Skype or phone. Every successful MBA applicant is evaluated for merit-based fellowship awards at the time of admission. A valid score from either the GMAT or GRE is a required part of the application to the full-time traditional two year MBA. The Freeman School seeks students who will thrive in the program and beyond. While there are no specific prerequisite courses or majors, successful Freeman applicants demonstrate a high level of academic achievement and quantitative ability. Post graduate work experience and a strong career plan also contribute to a successful application.

We seek mid/upper level managers who aspire to become leaders in a volatile and global business market. Applicants are evaluated based on Professional Experience, Leadership Potential, Overall strengths, motivations, personal commitment, and ability to meet the demands of the program, as evidenced by transcripts, resume, recommendations, essays, personal interview, and, if necessary, GMAT score.

The full-time MBA program, completed over four semesters, requires 61 credit hours. The curriculum encompasses knowledge core courses (24 credit hours), a one-of-a-kind global leadership module (7 credit hours), and elective courses (30 credit hours). Knowledge core courses provide a foundation in all functional disciplines of business and help students understand how they are integrated in the management of successful organizations. The global leadership module provides real-world business experiences through incorporated client projects and immersion trips to the European Union, Latin America, and Asia. Through an extensive elective set, students in both programs can sharpen their focus through concentrations or specializations in analytics, energy, entrepreneurial hospitality, entrepreneurship, finance, real estate, and/or strategic management and innovation.

The Executive MBA curriculum is broad-based and delivers advanced business knowledge over 18 months in a lock-step format. Courses are sequenced building in complexity and depth as students move through the program. Students choose four electives to earn an MBA degree with a finance or management concentration.

The Tulane Professional MBA (PMBA) is a three-year, part-time program that is taught by faculty members from Freeman’s prestigious Full-Time MBA program in New Orleans. In small classes, MBA students acquire expertise through experience - how to analyze problems critically, how to set smart goals, and how to be both a team player and an effective manager. In addition to developing a common body of knowledge in practical business matters, students in the PMBA program are able to complete a concentration or specialization in select fields. While no concentration or specialization is required, these options provide students the opportunity to create a program that meets more specific academic and career goals.
