Application Deadlines
Please be aware of the specific deadlines for Walton College graduate programs. In order to avoid last-minute issues, we encourage candidates to submit applications as early as possible.
Executive MBA Deadline Extended
Due to ongoing considerations for the pandemic, we have extended the EMBA deadline to July 15.
For 2021 Walton master's program admissions, the GMAT or GRE is optional. While not required, you have the option to submit your test scores as part of a holistic admissions review. Programs may still conduct an interview as part of the overall process.
