Consortium
Fuqua is a member of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, an organization whose mission is to expand access and increase representation in business education and leadership, supported by the strength of their growing alliance and network of committed allies.
Applicants who wish to apply to Fuqua through the Consortium should complete and submit only the Consortium application instead of the Fuqua application. The Consortium application includes all required Fuqua-specific application questions, so a separate Fuqua application is not required. Fuqua’s admissions criteria and evaluation process for those applying through the Consortium are identical for those applying directly to Fuqua. Learn more about the application process on the Consortium website.
Benefits of applying through the Consortium:
- Consideration for Membership in the Consortium: members gain lifetime access to a network of corporate partners, recruiters, and Consortium alumni across member schools.
- Consideration for a Consortium Fellowship: applicants admitted through the Consortium process who become Consortium members have the possibility of funding opportunities to fully over, or offset the cost, of a full-time MBA program.
- Common Application: the Consortium application allows applicants to apply to multiple member schools at a significantly reduced fee.
The Consortium application opens each year on August 15 and has two application deadlines, October 15 and January 5.
The Consortium application is only available for student applicants who are applying to our Daytime MBA program. Applicants to all other programs should utilize the Fuqua application.
