Conditional admissions for qualified PreMBA students

The channels of communication between ELI and the Lerner School of Business and Economics at the University of Delaware deepened in 2005. The full-time MBA program now offers conditional admission for academically qualified international students who complete ELI’s four-month PreMBA program.

Students accepted under the conditional admissions agreement must complete PreMBA coursework at ELI, pass the TOEFL with a score of 250/260 and be recommended by PreMBA coordinator Mary Long.

“Not only does this cooperation strengthen the reputation of ELI’s PreMBA program,” said Long, “but it also recognizes the effectiveness of ELI’s business as well as academic training.”

The Pre-MBA program consists of four courses: Advanced Business Case Studies, Essentials (GMAT and graduate school application preparation), Managerial Communications and Entrepreneurship: the Business Plan, developed jointly by Long and the Delaware Small Business Development Center.
