Graduate Business Admission FAQs

The application fee is $100 for all programs.

Miami Herbert offers a limited number of application fee waivers. To qualify, applicants are encouraged to register and attend one of our virtual informational events in which participants gain time-saving tips for completing the application and are eligible to receive an application fee waiver code. Please check our latest e-newsletter for an upcoming workshop or email mba@miami.edu.

Application deadlines vary depending upon your program start date as outlined here. We encourage candidates to apply early for priority admission and scholarship consideration.

While GMAT and GRE test results are not mandatory for master's programs, submitting an unofficial test score can be beneficial for securing the maximum merit-based scholarship. PhD programs require GMAT or GRE scores and do not consider waivers. Please note that while you may submit unofficial or self-reported scores for submission, official versions will be required prior to program orientation.

• * GMAT Code: 7NV-S1-96
• * GRE Code: 5815

Only test scores received electronically from the testing service are considered official.

Yes! If you have a valid and competitive test score, we encourage you to upload a PDF copy of your score report through the application portal. If you plan to retest, you can hold off on uploading your score until after your application is submitted and you’ve had a chance to retake the exam.

Applicants who did not receive a high school diploma or bachelor’s degree in the United States or a foreign country where English is not the primary language must submit a TOEFL score or IELTS score, with the following scores:

• * TOEFL – 94 or above (iBT only)
• * IELTS – 7.0 or above

If English is not your native language, the TOEFL/IELTS requirement may be waived if you hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from an academic institution within the United States or from one of the English-speaking countries listed on the Graduate School listing for English Proficiency Requirements. Again, only test scores received electronically from the testing service are considered official.

For enrollment to an MBA program, candidates must pass the minimum language proficiency requirements. A qualifying TOEFL or IELTS score may be submitted after your application is received in the event that you have not yet tested or plan to retest in order to strengthen your score.

For specialized master’s programs, candidates that have not achieved the minimum TOEFL or IELTS score but have strong academic performance may be considered for conditional admission. Those students must successfully complete a 4-week English for Graduate Business Course prior to enrolling in the program.
