All applicants to the part-time MBA are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships with allocations based on the overall strength of a candidate's application. Scholarship decisions are made and communicated with admission decisions. Note that more than 70% of part-time MBA students entering in Fall 2025 received scholarship awards.

The required essay asks the following two questions:

1. How do you plan to achieve your short and long term career goals following graduation from Boston College?
2. What challenges will you face and how will Boston College help you develop your skills and leverage your professional experiences to achieve these goals?

The optional essay allows you to select from one of three topics or questions:

1. Introduce yourself to the Boston College community.
2. If you have not had coursework in core business or if your standardized test scores are low, how do you plan to prepare for the quantitative rigor of the BC MBA curriculum?
3. Explain an aspect of your candidacy in more detail.
4. What unique perspective will you bring to the Boston College community?

All students accepted into the part-time MBA program will be evaluated for advanced standing credit, which could potentially reduce your overall credit requirements, shorten the total length of your program, and provide substantial tuition savings. Learn more about our course waiver policy.

There are no minimum score requirements. However, we recommend that you review our class profiles to see how your scores and grades compare to those of our current students. Applicants to the part-time MBA program may be able to waive the GMAT/GRE requirement if qualified. Please fill out the waiver form to determine if you are eligible.

The average time is three to four years, and most students take two courses each semester. Our program, however, provides the opportunity to complete their degrees in as little as two years.

If you haven’t seen a letter of recommendation come through from your recommender, don’t worry. You may choose to resend another email notification to your recommender within the application section. Otherwise, go ahead and submit your application without a letter of recommendation. We will keep an eye out for the letter to complete your application.

Be prepared with the contact information of one person who can provide a recommendation. Once their information is entered into the application, your recommender will receive an email to begin the process of providing a recommendation. You will be notified by email once they have submitted their recommendation.

Tuition for the 2025–2026 academic year is $2,306 per credit hour for the part-time MBA; each part-time MBA class is 3 credit hours. The entire program is 19 courses or 57 credit hours. Visit our Tuition & Aid page for additional information about tuition and financial aid.
