Scholarships and financial aid are available to qualified candidates. We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible. While we do not require the GMAT or GRE, these materials could strengthen your application and increase your scholarship opportunities.
Applicants for joint or dual degree programs including the Baccalaureate/MBA, MBA/MHA, MBA/JD, MBA/MD, and MBA/MME should complete the application to the Full-Time MBA program and indicate their program of interest.
We review applications holistically, looking at all application materials together to evaluate a candidate’s preparedness. We will review applications for admission with unofficial transcripts and score reports. While we encourage two plus years of post-graduate work experience, strong internship experience will also be considered. Official copies of transcripts and test scores are required at the time of enrollment.

For Baccalaureate / MBA Applicants
Qualified undergraduates of Newcomb Tulane College may apply for admission to the MBA program during their junior year.
Students will be considered NTC undergraduates for their first four years, during which they will be charged undergraduate tuition and all undergraduate financial aid will apply. If you receive financial aid, your awards can be used towards your first year of MBA courses. It is your responsibility to ensure that all deadlines for necessary financial aid applications set by the Office of Financial Aid are met. In the fifth year, students will be considered graduate students at the Freeman School, and MBA scholarship awards will apply.
How to Apply
Below are instructions on for each step of the application process. Click on each section to view detailed instructions:
Meet with your advisor to discuss your interest and eligibility as soon as possible to ensure you will complete your core and your major requirements by the end of May prior to the August in which you seek to enroll at the business school.
Your first-year business courses can only count towards the total credit count necessary to graduate from Tulane--not towards your core curriculum, major or distribution requirements.
2. Be registered for your sixth semester
Be registered for your sixth semester of course work (typically, spring of your junior year), during which you will earn the minimum 90 hours required to apply.
You must not have earned more than 104 hours of Tulane or Tulane accepted transfer credits prior to starting business school.
3. Complete and return the eligibility form
Complete and return the eligibility form provided by your advisor. The form requires the following approvals:
- The signature of your major advisor certifying that you will have completed all of your major requirements by the end of your junior year.
- The signature of your academic advisor certifying that you will have completed all of your core requirements prior to business school enrollment.
Apply to the full-time MBA program at the Freeman School.
GMAT/GRE waivers may be available to qualified candidates, but test scores are required for consideration for full tuition fellowships.
