Although not required for admission, your prior work experience helps us understand how you’ve developed, on both a professional and personal level.

• There is no minimum work experience required for this program
• Any paid or unpaid work experience will be considered, including volunteer, part-time work, and internships
• In your application, show us how your work experience has helped you mature, gain leadership and teamwork skills, and how it will help you be an active contributor in the online Fuqua learning environment

Fuqua admits candidates to the MSQM: Health Analytics program who have strong quantitative and analytical skills and who will excel in a demanding, fast-paced environment. We admit applicants with:

• An undergraduate degree from a 4-year accredited college or university 
• A wide range of GPAs and GMAT/GRE and Executive Assessment scores

Because the MSQM:HA academic environment is demanding, fast-paced, and requires strong quantitative and analytical skills, the admissions committee pays particular attention to the quantitative segment of your test scores, your performance in quantitative undergraduate courses, the quality of your undergraduate institution, and your work history, including the types of quantitative work you’ve been exposed to. Test waivers are offered on a case-by-case basis for MSQM:HA applicants.

Your application essays, recommendation, resume, and interview are what weave fit, passion, and impact together into your story. No one part is more important than the other, so give each one your best. And most importantly, just be you.

CV or Resume:

You must include a current business resume or CV. Start with your current position, and include any relevant volunteer work. Please make sure the experience and education sections list dates (month/year).

Essay:

Your essay lets you share your perspective and help us understand what drives and inspires you, personally and at work. Use your essay to fill in any gaps or provide extra details on key areas of your application.

Recommendation:       

One letter of recommendation is required for the application and should be from someone who knows your professional skills and abilities. Prepare your recommender to showcase parts of you that are not reflected in other areas of your application.

Proprietors or principals of a company can ask a client, board member, or other professional colleague to write a recommendation.

Interview:

An interview is required to complete your application. During your interview, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Show us your interpersonal skills and what you'll bring to the program
• Give us additional insight into who you are and your background
• Demonstrate how you are a good fit for Fuqua, and how Fuqua is a good fit for you
