FAQ

The Master’s Degree in Asset Management is ideal for both recent university graduates and for those who are early in their careers. Applicants to the program must have completed a bachelor’s degree before classes start; a three-year international bachelor’s degree is acceptable.

Applicants should have a strong quantitative background, including coursework in multivariable calculus, linear algebra, microeconomic theory, and probability and statistics; applicants should also have some coursework or experience in computer programming. This coursework or experience does not have to be completed by the time of applying to the program but should be completed before classes start. Coursework in advanced mathematics beyond calculus and in economic theory would be excellent additional preparation.

The application includes a comprehensive online form and space to upload required documents. 

You are welcome to apply to both programs. If admitted to both, you would have the option to complete both degrees in two years  in the following structure:

Those entering the MBA as a Silver Scholar complete a one-year internship in between Years 1 and 2.

• Year 1: MBA core
• Year 2: MBA electives/Asset Management program

Reapplicants are required to submit a new application, upload new essays (including a reapplicant essay), pay the application fee, and complete the video questions. If you have applied within the last two years, you are not required to submit new transcripts or a new test score report. 

Your circumstances may have changed in the year since you last applied, and you may decide to request new letters of recommendation. However, if you wish to use one or both letters from your previous application, please email us and let us know which letter you would like us to reattach in support of your new application file.

If you are reapplying, the Admissions Committee will look to understand what has changed about your candidacy since your last application. Therefore, we suggest you reapply only when you have had enough time to reflect on your candidacy and can provide meaningful updates.

Sometimes applicants have a scheduled GMAT or GRE exam very near or just after an application deadline. We can’t guarantee that we will be able to review scores from exams taken after the application date, so plan to have all of your testing done before the application deadline. If you do end up retaking a test after the application deadline, you will be able to enter the new score on your applicant status page.
