Does this program require corporate sponsorship?
Since classes are held outside of normal working hours, TEMBA does not require formal corporate sponsorship. However, it is important for the student to insure that his/her employer (especially direct supervisors) supports participation in TEMBA. Work and travel schedules should be arranged so that you can attend class every Monday and Tuesday evening. You may need to obtain your employer's approval to attend the August Intensive experience, and/or plan on scheduling vacation time.
Do you conduct interviews?
Applications will be accepted until June 15, 2007. Those candidates who appear to be most competitive will be invited to interview.
Do you require work experience?
Yes, a minimum of two years.
If I have been admitted, may I defer admittance?
If a student has been admitted to TEMBA, he or she may request to defer admission to the following year's class. Deferral is rarely granted.
May I apply to the Executive MBA and Texas Executive MBA at the same time?
Yes, you may apply to our other UT MBA programs. Because these programs are independently administered, you must send complete applications to each. If you choose to apply to more than one UT MBA program, you will be asked to write an additional essay describing how each program can meet your graduate business education needs.
