MIB Admissions - QM Track
Admissions
What are the characteristics of a successful MIB: QM candidate?
Like all MIB applicants, we seek students who have established professional experience and goals, international exposure, and a strong academic record. MIB:QM candidates are expected to demonstrate an additional level of quantitative capacity and interest through previous coursework, professional experience, and career interests. We want to ensure that the rigorous quantitative curriculum is a good fit for all who enroll.
What are the pre-requisites for the MIB:QM?
MIB:QM candidates should have demonstrated academic quantitative capacity. Specifically, all admitted applicants should have completed college-level courses in Statistics and Microeconomics with a minimum grade of B- (or equivalent). These need not be part of a college degree and can be taken, for credit and a grade, independently. In addition, other quantitative coursework, research, and professional experience will add to a candidate’s quantitative profile. Other economics, data analysis, and calculus classes are particularly relevant, though students with engineering, pre-med, and other science backgrounds may be considered a strong fit as well.
Can I apply to the MIB:QM if I do not have the required coursework?
Students must apply directly to the MIB or the MIB:QM. We strongly encourage applicants to apply to the degree for which they are most qualified and that is most relevant to their professional goals. If you have not yet completed the required economics and statistics coursework, you may choose to complete this before applying and submit appropriate transcripts.
Candidates who apply for, but do not meet the MIB:QM course pre-requisites may be considered for the MIB (non-QM track) or may be offered admission conditional upon providing evidence of successful completion of additional coursework before starting the program.
