Successful applicants will demonstrate academic excellence, capacity to communicate clearly, think critically, and solve complex problems. The future MBAs at Cornell Tech will need a core competency, a mindset of lifelong learning, and the ability to leverage new knowledge relative to the rate of innovation. Continuous learners believe there is no endpoint to learning and are energized by the core of Cornell Tech.

A bachelor’s degree (BA, BS, BE) in engineering, computer science, mathematics or a related technical field is required except in exceptional cases. All applicants, regardless of their undergraduate degree, will need to fit within the entrepreneurial and innovation-driven mission of the campus.

Creativity

As the only MBA program not housed in a business school, we know our students will be different. To create the inaugural MBA class for Cornell Tech our formula is a cutting-edge startup built on a foundation of academic excellence with a splash of creativity.

We value expressions of who you are and what you add to this formula. There are three ways to show how you fit within this dynamic setting. Please provide an example of your creativity, style, or technical aptitude by sending a link to your work, uploading a video, or providing a written sample that demonstrates these attributes.
