Prepare for business school by establishing your career goals and selecting an accredited university that offers the degree program and specialization you want. Then, set a time frame of when you would like to earn your business degree. Finally, you’ll need transcripts, a résumé, and financial aid information to prepare your application.

Start by setting your time frame to quantify how much of a time commitment your degree will require. For example, you may be able to earn your MBA online in as little as 12 months. Walden offers course-based and competency-based options that allow you to choose how you want to learn and how to pace your studies.

It’s important to know whether or not the program is accredited and if a Graduation Management Admission Test—or the GMAT—is required for admission. Some MBA programs offer specializations or focus areas that might better prepare you for your career goals. A low student-teacher ratio is also beneficial to your academic success.
