Deferred MBA has evolved to include all students graduating from a US school. Students apply and receive an admission during their senior year; if admitted, they venture into the workplace to gain two full years of substantive* professional experience before entering Smith’s highly regarded full-time MBA program.
*Qualified candidates may extend their professional work beyond two years, as deemed necessary and at the discretion of the admissions committee.
Make your next fearless move and fast-track your career.
Who Qualifies?
College seniors who are graduating from an institution in the United States and demonstrate personal drive and determination, strong academics and interpersonal skills.
