Tri-Continent MBA
The next session for the Tri-Continent MBA begins September 1st, 2008
Admission requirements conform to the regulations of the ENPC School of International Management and the Fox School of Business and Management of Temple University. Both schools have a rolling admissions, accepting applications on an on-going basis through the summer prior to the start of each academic year in the fall.
A total of 30 seats are available for the Tri-Continent MBA program. One out of every three candidates is usually selected.
Applications may be submitted in print via post or online. Candidates may submit the required supporting credentials piecewise through the application process. When an application is complete, candidates will be contacted regarding interviews, which can be either in person or by phone.
A complete application includes:
- Completed Application File -- The application file can be downloaded here.
- Application Fee -- All applicants must submit a 100€ application fee made payable to ENPC MBA - MIB Développement.
- GMAT -- All applicants must have official GMAT scores submitted directly to the ENPC School of International Management via ETS (Educational Testing Service – www.ets.org). Our school code for reporting scores is 0484. We are unable to accept student reports of scores - reports must come directly from ETS. Please visit the official GMAT website (www.gmac.com) for more information on where and when to take the GMAT test. Admissions committee guidelines call for GMAT scores between 590 and 710 (around a 630 preferably). Outstanding qualifications in other aspects, however (e.g., undergraduate honors, exceptional work or travel experience), may permit some exceptions.
- TOEFL -- All non-native English speakers must have a TOEFL score of at least 575 (600 is preferred) on the paper-based test. This, again, must be directly reported to the ENPC School of International Management by ETS using the school code 0484. TOEFL is not required if the applicant has a university-level degree from an English-language institution.
- University Degree -- A four (4) year undergraduate degree or its equivalent for admission to graduate study. Official transcripts (in English) must be submitted directly to the ENPC School of International Management by all institutions previously attended.
- References -- All applicants must have two references submitted. Official reference forms are provided as part of the admissions application file.
- Interviews -- All candidates are interviewed prior to the final admission decision. Candidates may be interviewed with ENPC representatives in France or Temple representatives in the US and Japan. Interviews may be conducted by phone or in person.
All of the above factors are taken into consideration in the admission process, as well as an attempt to get some reasonable geographic distribution of students among countries and continents. While there is no formal language requirement other than English, second and third languages among admitted students are certainly an advantage to anyone seeking a career in international business. Formal work experience is not required, but experience is a factor that is considered by the admissions committee.
