Admissions

Admission to MBA/MS Program is extremely selective, as it requires admittance to graduate programs at both The Ross School of Business (Ross) and The School of Natural Resources & Environment (SNRE). Thus, candidates must go through a dual selection process, applying to each school separately. If you are admitted to both schools, you then become part of the MBA/MS Program.

IMPORTANT!! Contact the Erb Institute office with your name and expected deadline dates so we can track your application and have MBA/MS Program staff and students assist you in navigating the application process.
 



Steps for MBA/MS Program Admission
  1. Sign up for and take GMAT exam (SNRE will accept GMAT scores for MBA/MS Program applicants - look for UM-SNRE as GMAT score recipient when taking exam). SNRE GMAT code is SN1-J6-40.
  2. Applications for the Ross School of Business and SNRE are available on line. 
  3. Complete both Ross and SNRE applications. On the Rackham application under "Applying to more than one Program of Study," check "yes" to the question, "Are you applying to a dual degree program with a non-Rackham school or college? Indicate "Business Admin (MBA" from the drop down list. Please check the SNRE box on Form 1 under 'Dual Degree Program Applicants' on the Ross application.
  4. Confirm with MBA/MS Program office once both applications are in.

In your essays to both schools, please clearly inform the selection committee that you are applying to the MBA/MS Program of the Erb Institute, and explain to the respective schools why a degree from their program is important to you. The schools are interested in hearing why their degree contribution is vital to this program and your career goals.

Please Note: If you are already in Ross or SNRE and want to be part of the MBA/MS Program, you'll need to go through the admissions process for the other school. You must apply in your first year of graduate school.  Please be sure to inform the Erb Institute office of your application.


Specific SNRE Instructions

Please submit your SNRE application materials as soon as possible-don't wait for deadline. The Admissions office will make every effort to move your materials quickly through the application process. Please make every attempt to collect all required application materials and send them to the school together in one envelope.
