Be sure to review the complete details below regarding each requirement and our quick video tutorial, How to Apply to Miami Herbert Business School Using BusinessCAS.

Step 1: Review program and application requirements

Application Instructions: Before you begin your application to the Miami MBA program, please make sure to read all the application instructions carefully. While you will be able to add to certain segments on the application (example: test scores) post submission, you will not be able to make revisions once the application has been submitted. Submitting incorrect information on your application or failure to include details can delay the admission review process.

You should also use the months leading up to the deadline to complete the following steps:

• Required Exam(s): Schedule to take the GMAT exam and if applicable, the English proficiency exam (TOEFL or IELTS). The GRE (as an alternative to the GMAT) may be considered on a case by case basis. GMAT (or GRE) scores are considered valid only if earned within five years to the month of your intended first term of the Miami MBA, while TOEFL or IELTS scores are valid if earned within two years of the program start. It is possible to retest even after your application is received, as the Admission Committee will consider only your highest score.
• Resumé/Curriculum Vitae: There is no “right” approach to structuring your resumé/CV when updating it to apply for graduate school. However, it is a good idea to take some time to identify the skills and achievements you would like to highlight for your MBA program and structure the resumé accordingly. Please note, you will be required to upload a copy of your resumé/CV as part of your application.
• Recommendation Letters: Identify potential recommenders and let them know that you will like them to write a recommendation for you.

Step 2: Complete the Online Application

Electronic applications are hosted by BusinessCAS. After you have read all instructions carefully, please complete the online application. We also recommend you review our video tutorial, How to Apply to Miami Herbert Business School Using BusinessCAS.

You may only apply to up to two programs per term. Applications to the additional programs in a single term will not be considered.

Step 3: Pay Your Application Fees

The application fee is $48 for all graduate business programs.

Step 4: Providing Program Materials

In addition to transcripts and test scores, Miami Herbert’s Graduate Business Programs require supplemental materials may include (but are not limited to) items such as resume, statement of purpose, and recommendations, etc.

Please refer to the instructions on the “Program Materials” quadrant on the online application to verify the supplemental materials needed and how to submit. All documents should be uploaded or sent to BusinessCAS directly.

You will receive a 9-digit number referred as a C-Number via email within 3-5 business days after you submitted the online application. Please keep this ID on record and make sure to include it in all your communication with the Miami Herbert Business School. It is important to note that your 9-digit C-Number is different from the BusinessCAS ID you will receive when you begin your application. The BusinessCAS ID is only required for technical support during the application process and is not issued by the university.

Step 5: Submit Your Official Transcripts

Request official sealed transcripts from all previously attended US institutions to be sent to BusinessCAS.

• This includes any coursework done at community colleges, junior colleges, extension programs, post-secondary schools, colleges, universities and other institutions.
• Utilize the Transcript Request Form and follow all instructions in the Academic History section of the BusinessCAS application.
• You are encouraged to upload your unofficial transcripts under Documents in the Program Material section of the BusinessCAS application to expedite your application evaluation while we wait for your official transcripts.

International Transcripts: Request official evaluation of transcripts from all previously attended non-U.S. institutions to be sent to BusinessCAS as follows: Use the World Education Services (WES) link in the Academic History section of the application to order your official WES evaluation.

Transcripts may mailed directly to:

BusinessCAS Transcripts Processing Center 
P.O. Box 9221
Watertown, MA 02471

Step 6: Submit Your Official Test Scores

A recent score (less than 5 years old) of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or, on a case-by-case basis, the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) must be submitted.

• GMAT Code for the Miami MBA: 7NV-S1-96
• GRE Code for the Miami MBA: 5815

International Applicants: 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.

• TOEFL – 94 or above (iBT only)
• IELTS – 7.0 or above
• To expedite your application evaluation while we wait for your official scores, you are encouraged to upload your unofficial scores under Documents in the Program Materials section of the BusinessCAS application.

Please make sure to include your test scores or the date you plan to take the exam. Once you submit your application, you will also be able to return to it in order to add additional test scores if you take these tests afterwards.

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

Step 7: Track Your Application Status

Our admission processing center receives a high volume of materials during the peak admission period (November through May). During these months, please allow approximately 7-10 business days from the date of receipt of your official academic records to process these documents and match them to your application in our database.

Graduate applicants are responsible for properly submitting all items required for review and responding promptly to requests for additional materials or information. Once you submit your application, all notifications regarding missing transcripts and other materials required to complete our evaluation will be emailed to you. Therefore, it is important that you regularly check the email address you provided on the application. Please note: You will not receive confirmation emails when specific materials have been received, but only when we are requesting additional materials. 

Step 8: View Your Decision

While the Office of Graduate Business Admission processes all graduate applications, admission decisions are ultimately made by the program to which you have applied. Once the admission committee for the Miami MBA has completed the review process, you will receive an email notification from the Office of Graduate Business Admission informing you that a decision has been made.

The length of time required to make a decision varies by the size of the applicant pool. Most applicants to the fall term receive decision notifications by June. Most applicants to the spring term receive decision notifications by December.

When you receive your decision notification, follow the instructions on the email to register for and view your decision in Canelink.
