American University of Beirut

The MBA program is the breeding ground for the leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. We aim to develop students to excel in the constantly and rapidly changing business world.

The MBA Admissions team looks to attract and admit candidates with balanced competencies including excellent analytical skills and leadership potential. A composite score is calculated for every applicant and is used as the basis for the admission committee decision. The following requirements constitute the criteria needed to consider your application: from applicants interested in joining the program:

University Degree	Score	Work Experience
An undergraduate degree is needed for admission into the MBA program. Students should have a GPA of at least 80 (GPA 3.2) an AUB equivalent score. Applicants with GPA between 80 and 75 may be admitted on probation, provided they meet the remaining admission requirements.	The GMAT score we look at is a balance of both the quantitative and verbal score.	Work Experience will enable applicants to benefit fully from the MBA experience. Applicants that have previous work experience will count in their composite score of admission.

Note: All students who don't have an undergraduate degree from AUB, or any American, Canadian, British or Australian University, must meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement (ELPR) of the University.
