We encourage you to start your application to the UNC Kenan-Flagler Full-Time MBA Program today. It takes just a few minutes to get started.
Through our holistic admissions process, we’re seeking bright, motivated students who aspire to make an impact in the business world. Typically, students enter with an average of five years of work experience, but we encourage all competitive applicants to apply. There are also no prerequisite courses; however, you should have a working knowledge of financial accounting, statistics, economics, and calculus.
GMAT/GRE waivers are available for new applicants to the UNC Kenan-Flagler Full-Time MBA class of 2023, and we encourage you to submit your waiver request early to allow for processing time.

*Round 3 is the final deadline for international applicants
Once you are admitted and decide to attend UNC Kenan-Flagler, there is a non-refundable enrollment deposit of $1,500 USD, regardless of which round you apply in. We encourage you to apply as early as possible to maximize your chances for admission and to receive a fellowship. We encourage international applicants to apply no later than the round 3 deadline to ensure adequate time for visa processing.
If you applied last year and you’d like to reapply, you will need to start a new application, with new essay responses, recommenders, and an updated resume. However, your transcripts will rollover to the new application, as will your test scores, if they are still valid. There is also a re-applicant essay that you’ll need to complete in addition to the standard essays.
UNC Kenan-Flagler is a proud member school of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. Each year, we enroll strong, active, and engaged students from the Consortium community.
Consortium applicants are eligible to apply directly through the Consortium if you received a test waiver from UNC Kenan-Flagler. After you receive the test waiver confirmation email, please forward that to the Consortium prior to the deadline to include with your application.
Please note that the application process and deadlines for Consortium applicants differ from UNC Kenan-Flagler, and that we can not offer application fee waivers for candidates applying through The Consortium application. Should you apply through The Consortium, you will receive your decision based on the release date for the standard UNC Kenan-Flagler application process as noted above.
