The Online MBA and Online Grad Certificate in Business Administration offers multiple admissions pathways—learn more about which track is best for you.
Fast App (Performance-Based Admissions)
Performance-Based Admissions is a great option for applicants interested in a streamlined pathway into Northeastern's Online MBA program. Students will not officially matriculate into the degree program until they complete two pathway courses. After successful completion of the pathway courses, students will receive an official acceptance letter from Northeastern and will be eligible for financial aid.
This application option is only for Online Masters in Business Administration & Online Graduate Certificate in Business Administration applicants.
Standard Graduate Application
Prospective students can also apply to the Online MBA through Northeastern's standard graduate application. Students admitted from the standard application are fully matriculated from their first term— pathway course requirements will be waived.
