Application Process

We know you are concerned about the admissions metrics—the average test scores, GPA range, and work experience of our student population. But at VSB, there is more to our students than a one-dimensional pie chart. A successful academic track record and a resume that reflects career progress just aren't enough.

Our students are unique. They come to VSB looking for professional growth, personal development, and to challenge those around them to become stronger business leaders. If you’re looking to be in an environment where you are expected to engage, to collaborate, and to question traditional ways of doing business, then you could be a good fit for the Villanova MBA.

Application Deadlines

Round 1: 12/15
Round 2: 2/15
Round 3: 4/15
Round 4: 6/30

Application Requirements

  1. Completed online application for admission
  2. Official transcripts of academic credentials
    One official transcript from each undergraduate or graduate institution attended
  3. Two letters of recommendation
    Recommendations can be professional references from individuals who know you in an employment setting (internships work as well) and are written by a current/previous supervisor. For those students who do not have work experience academic recommendations are welcomed. Please refrain from using personal recommendations (family, friends, etc.). 
  4. Resume
    Please prepare a business resume that includes your educational and professional information. 
  5. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
    Applicants are required to take the GMAT. Please arrange for official reports to be sent directly to Villanova University (Program Code: 8PP-NJ-52). We do not accept the GRE score in place of the GMAT. The Admissions Committee will consider your highest score if you have taken the test more than once. For more information about the GMAT test and how to register, please visit www.mba.com.
  6. Two Essays
    The essay questions can be found on the online application.
  7. Non-refundable $50 application fee
    All applicants must pay a non-refundable application fee of $50. The fee is to be paid by credit card on the online application site when you submit.
  8. Admissions Interview
    An admissions interview is required for the Fast Track, and taken by invitation only. Your completed application for admission, current resume, personal essays, and application fee must be submitted prior to your interview.
  9. TOEFL Exam (International applicants only)
    International applicants must submit a TOEFL score and a transcript evaluation. 


All supplemental application materials (transcripts, etc.) should be sent to:
