Guidelines for a Successful Application

Applications will open in early September each year. The application deadline for the cohort that will begin in fall 2024 is June 1, 2024.

Personal Qualifications

We seek applicants who are highly motivated, articulate, and able to master a substantial body of material. The program is both rigorous and rewarding. Time management skills and dedication to success in the program are essential. Nearly all HMP executive master's students work full-time while they complete the program.

In addition to at least five years of work experience, candidates must have a record of academic achievement in their undergraduate work, and if applicable, previous graduate work. There is no specific undergraduate concentration requirement. However, typical candidates have strength in at least one quantitative area (e.g., economics, statistics, or accounting).
