MBA in MBA (Cornell Tech)

Cornell Tech requires that transcripts from colleges and universities outside the U.S. and Canada undergo a course-by-course analysis by an expert academic credential evaluator in the United States. Students are responsible for paying all fees for such evaluations and making arrangements with the credential evaluation company to send and receive their documents. Cornell Tech will accept evaluations from Scholaro, World Education Services (WES), Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), SpanTran, or any NACES organization member.

Proof of graduation from a Bachelor’s program (if this is not indicated on the transcript).

Please provide copies of your academic records or transcripts from each previously attended university

Applicants are required to submit one professional letter of recommendation.* Your recommender should speak to your academic and interpersonal abilities, technical aptitude and/or professional experiences in tech, your experience working on teams, and any areas of improvement. Your letter of recommendation should come from a current or former manager, supervisor, or someone who has managed/supervised you in a professional capacity. Unless you are a full-time entrepreneur, we generally advise that you do not choose clients, co-founders, or colleagues to write your recommendation. Only one letter is required, but you may submit an additional letter if relevant to your candidacy for the program. *If you are an entrepreneur, CEO, and/or co-founder of a company, you may submit a recommendation from a co-founder, long-term client, or previous supervisor. While not required, we recommend submitting two recommendation letters if this applies to you.

In an essay or question format in 700 words or less, double-spaced, 12-point font: Why are you interested in a one-year, tech-focused MBA (as opposed to a traditional two-year MBA program that would offer a summer internship opportunity)? Demonstrate the relationship between your current professional experience and academic background to your short- (0-5 years after graduating) and long-term (6-15 years after graduating) career goals for this program. At Cornell Tech, we aim to educate leaders for the digital age. What, in your opinion is the single most important characteristic that such leaders must possess? Why? What else would you like the admissions committee to know about you?

Your resume must list your professional history (with dates of employment), academic background (with dates of attendance and graduation), and any skills or activities that are relevant to your admission into this program. The Tech MBA program seeks candidates with a minimum of 2-3 years of digital-based experience and/or knowledge of the tech industry.
