ADMISSIONS

At Goizueta, we invest in women to create a new generation of empowered leaders that will break through the barriers and positively impact business and society. The masters in finance program is not only designed by finance industry professionals, it is led by a pioneering female finance professional and academic.

We are proud to be an active participant in a variety of organizations and initiatives that support and promote women in business. You'll gain access to these and other organizations and resources that help get you there and support you along the way.

The Rosemary and John Brown Family Scholars Program is a $5 million scholarship endowment open to graduates of Spelman College and Agnes Scott College who are accepted into a Goizueta graduate program. Scholarships are merit-based. Brown Family Scholars admitted into any of Goizueta’s graduate programs will benefit from small-by-design program classes known for a collaborative culture and highly experiential learning model. This will help scholars to formally build camaraderie and continue with mentoring and networking during the remainder of their studies.

Goizueta is a proud partner of The Forté Foundation and shares its vision and commitment to women in the workplace. Through our Women's Program, Goizueta aligns with other Foundation partners — leading companies and top business schools — to further women's advancement in business leadership through access to business education, opportunities, and a community.

Goizueta Women in Business (GWIB) offers professional and personal development opportunities for graduate women at Goizueta. You'll meet like-minded, accomplished women who seek growth beyond the classroom. Through GWIB-sponsored networking, speakers, social events, community service and communication, you'll foster relationships within and beyond Emory. And with each activity, you'll develop not only your community, but also your contribution to others.

The Goizueta Student-Alumni Mentor Program is designed to help students bridge the gap between the academic and professional world through the practical insights, coaching, and experience of the Goizueta alumni network. Through the Alumni Mentor Program, you're paired with an alumna — or alumnus if you prefer — according to shared areas of interest and affinity preferences. In your mentor, you'll find the voice of experience, a sounding board, and a perspective that helps expand your own.

The Center for Women at Emory helps Emory University provide the best possible environment for women as students, scholars, and employees. We advocate for gender equity throughout the University; provide resources and skill-building opportunities; and bring faculty, students, practitioners, activists, and other learners together to examine gender issues and work toward ethical solutions.

Diversity is one of our core values, and we celebrate diversity through the experiences and knowledge of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni. We are proud to be an active participant in a variety of diversity initiatives and scholarship programs.

Prospanica strives to be the leading catalyst for Hispanic professional achievement by offering resources, professional development opportunities, and a sense of community to Hispanic professionals and business students. As a long-standing partner of Prospanica, Goizueta Business School demonstrates its commitment to nurturing a diverse learning environment on our campus and establishing pathways to business education for students from backgrounds commonly underrepresented in higher education. Prospanica invites graduate students who want to achieve their full educational potential and make meaningful contributions to society to apply to its Prospanica Foundation Scholarships.

Toigo builds stronger, more diverse organizations through the inclusion and advancement of under-represented talent. Its mission is to transform the performance of forward-thinking organizations through education and strategies that drive greater inclusion and the ongoing development and promotion of exceptional diverse leaders.

Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) is a national nonprofit that is transforming the leadership pipelines of more than 120 leading organizations by driving breakthrough results for individuals and institutions. MLT equips and emboldens high-achieving women and men from underrepresented communities—African American, Latinx, and Native American—to realize their full potential, to make a mark, and make a difference. 

The Goizueta Student-Alumni Mentor Program is designed to help students bridge the gap between the academic and professional world through the practical insights, coaching, and experience of the Goizueta alumni network. Through the Alumni Mentor Program, you're paired with an alumna — or alumnus if you prefer — according to shared areas of interest and affinity preferences. In your mentor, you'll find the voice of experience, a sounding board, and a perspective that helps expand your own.

Goizueta is proud to have veteran alumni representing each of the U.S. military branches. We're consistently ranked a GI Jobs Military Friendly Institution, and are proud to be a recognized institution for the specialized development of high potential career military candidates. We collaborate with all branches of the military on an individual case basis to determine which of our programs is a fit for the service member's goals. Tuition for enrolled sponsored candidates is paid on behalf of the student by their branch, with some opportunities for Goizueta to offset any differential between sponsorship amount and the cost of tuition.

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (aka Chapter 33), and allows voluntary partner institutions to enter into an agreement with the Veterans Administration to fund tuition expenses for eligible veterans. The amount of the Yellow Ribbon Program award is equal to the difference between the amount received through the Post 9/11 GI Bill tuition benefit and the actual cost, up to a limit specified each year by the Goizueta Business School and matched by the VA through the Yellow Ribbon Program. For the majority of our graduate business programs, this results in a full-tuition benefit.

To demonstrate our support of military applicants, Goizueta is associated with the Military Consortium, an organization under the umbrella of The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). Through this association, we offer the following benefits for applicants with military experience.

• Applications accepted after standard deadlines for deployed military personnel
• Waived application fees for military personnel and veterans
• One-year deferment available if admitted military student is delayed by their service branch

The makeup of the international student body at Goizueta reflects our strong commitment to providing a global experience for all students to actively learn from each other about the interplay of cultural, political, and business practices around the world.

All applicants who earned an undergraduate degree outside of the United States must submit a completed application which includes: transcripts with a seal from the issuing institution from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended, a current résumé, official GMAT or GRE score, TOEFL score (if applicable), two recommendations, essays, and the application fee. Applications are not reviewed until these criteria are met.

STEM Degree

This is a STEM-designated masters program. Most international students on a student F-1 visa have the option to obtain work experience following the completion of their degree through a program called Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT is a form of training – often paid – that relates to your field of study. You can apply for OPT while still in school (“pre-completion OPT”), or after you earn your degree (“post-completion OPT”).

In addition to the normal Optional Practical Training (OPT) period of 12 months, a STEM-designated degree allows for a 24-month extension of post-completion OPT, offering a total eligibility of up to 36 months.
