GLOBALIZING YOUR MBA
We live in a global marketplace and to give you
that international component to your degree,
we offer Global Immersion Experiences (GIE).
Keeping your busy schedule in mind, the ma-
jority of these trips are week-long study tours.
Each GIE is a 2-credit elective course with local
company visits as the courses cornerstone.
No one ever looks back on their life and
says, I wish I would have seen less of
the world. GIE experiences are unlike
personal travel, unlike business travel
and unlike traditional study abroads.
Its a very unique opportunity to see
how a full spectrum of businesses
function in a different country.

ADMISSIONS
Our Admissions Committee takes a holistic approach when reviewing each application. What
is paramount is finding students with the qualities to become true business leaders in a global
economy. We evaluate candidates in three key areas:
ACADEMIC ABILITY
A bachelors degree is required for admission
into the program, and the admissions team will
evaluate your transcripts and performance.
Additionally, we require a graduate level en-
trance exam. Our full-time students must take
the GMAT. For our Executive, Online and Pro-
fessional programs we also accept the GRE or
waive the test score requirement if you have
another advanced level degree such as a Ph.D.,
M.D., or J.D.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
A minimum of two years of work experience
is required for all programs, with the Executive
requiring at least eight years of experience. Our
admissions team evaluates your resume and
asks for insights from supervisors and others
that know you from a professional perspective.
FINANCING YOUR MBA
We provide multiple ways to finance your UF
MBA without breaking the bank. And with our
already economical costs and competitive ROI,
your degree will pay for itself quickly.
Approximately 60 percent of our MBA students
use loans to pay all or part of their expenses.
Federal student loans are available to U.S. citi-
zens and permanent residents.
We have two financial aid counselors dedicated
to the Hough Graduate School of Business that
can help you explore these and other options.
