To apply for the Lindner MBA you will be asked to provide the following information:

- Scanned transcripts
- Contact information for two references who will provide letters of recommendation electronically, we prefer at least one professional reference

Next steps
Full-time MBA cohort applicants who are chosen to move past the first round of application review will be asked to submit a virtual interview proctored by Kira Talent. You will be notified via email when selected for this round and will have two weeks to complete the interview.
The program makes every effort to review and respond to applicants in a timely manner, typically within two to three weeks of the application being completed. During peak periods, or very early in the admission cycle, additional processing time may be needed.
