UCLA Anderson Deferred Enrollment Program

We offer eight concurrent programs for full-time MBA students at UCLA Anderson. Students are required to also apply to the program they are interested in, usually in the year before matriculating into the MBA program. Admissions decisions for concurrent degree programs are made separately by each academic program.

We accept both virtual and in-person exams, with no preference. As of November 2023, we will also accept GMAT Focus scores. You can apply with self-reported scores by the application deadline, but official scores will need to be verified upon acceptance. 
Test codes for the UCLA Anderson MBA program are:

GRE: 0771
GMAT: 2NZ-2F-24

No minimum score is required, and the Admissions Committee has the flexibility to consider all scores in the context of your overall academic preparation and management potential.
 

Choose two recommenders who can speak to your work performance, leadership capabilities, and potential for graduate study and future career success. Your recommender options include current and former direct supervisors; professional associates from an organization, club or volunteer project; professors; and clients.
 

Yes. We encourage you to apply through the standard application process to one of our MBA programs after gaining additional professional experience.

The deferred enrollment program admits you to the same program as those who apply to our full-time MBA program. It allows you to have an earlier application period prior to gaining full-time working experience.
