EMBA Admissions

The EMBA Admission Process

Admission into the Tiffin EMBA program is based on the assessment of each person individually, taking into account the following criteria:

Academic training (Bachelor’s Degree), as an indicator of the training level for postgraduate studies (average grade for the years of study must be at least 7 if the applicant has more than 5 years of professional experience or 7.5 if the applicant has less than 5 years of professional experience);
Professional and life experience of the applicant – as an indicator of the applicant’s potential to be an active participant in the Program (a minimum of 8 curricular areas of 12 should be covered by professional experience and/or education)
The applicant must state the reasons for which he/she wishes to join this Program and how it fits into his/her life and career – as an indicator of the relevance and usefulness of this program for the applicant.
Linguistic competence in English, if English is not the native language, because American professors teach the Tiffin Executive MBA program only in English.

Registration for admission into the Program is done throughout the entire calendar year, based upon availability.

The program is for both Romanian and foreign citizens, graduates, and English speakers with a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and a minimum of 3 years of managerial experience.

The Admission Process and Selection Criteria

Certification and Document Submission

Based on the above-listed documents, the Program’s Director fills in a Professional Skills Certificate (Common Professional Component Certification) specifying your abilities, acquired skills through formal training (studies), as well as through professional experience (interview + curriculum vitae + Application form). The Application form, Curriculum Vitae, a certified copy of the Bachelor’s Degree and Diploma Supplement/transcript, their certified translations into English, and a copy of the English certificate, together with the Professional Skills Certificate shall be sent at Tiffin University, Ohio, USA. The admission into the program at Tiffin University is carried out after the analysis of these documents.

Admission and Learning Agreement

In this case, the student and the Program Director in Romania receive a letter of admission officially announcing your admission into the program. The next stage is the conclusion of the Learning Agreement with the University, the payment of the tuition fee under the agreement. The students are evaluated and admitted in the order of submission and payment of the registration fee. If a candidate decides to postpone attending the classes, the place will be taken by the next person admitted into the program by Tiffin University, who has paid the registration fee in chronological order after the last person who received a spot.

Enrollment Priority and Timeline

If two candidates cover the same number of curricular areas and only one open spot, the spot will be given to the person who has paid the registration fee first. From the time of admission, both parties’ signing of the agreement shall be concluded in no more than three weeks. If a person admitted does not pay the equivalent value of the first module within a month from signing the agreement, their place shall be taken by the next person admitted into the program in calendar order. Any admitted candidate may postpone the commencement of the studies as long as they consider necessary. After the start of the courses, each student is required to complete the program within no more than 6 (six) years.

Remember a few important things!

Students are assessed and admitted by order of fee submission and registration.
If you decide to postpone attending the courses, your place will be taken by the next person admitted to the program.
If two candidates compete for the same place, it will be awarded to the first person to pay their application fee.
Candidates will lose their place to the next person admitted to the program, in chronological order, if they do not pay the equivalent value of the first module within the term specified in the contract.
You can postpone the start of your studies, as long as you consider necessary, after you are admitted. You are required, however, to complete the program in no more than six years.
