Upload an unofficial copy of ALL transcripts to your online application prior to submitting the application. If you have attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, you may obtain an unofficial copy of your academic record from myZou. Official transcripts will be required if you are admitted into a graduate program.

Please upload a current professional resume which includes information about your work experience, leadership experience, and honors/awards.

Personal statement: Explain why you are a strong candidate for admission in 750 words or less. Include topics like:

  • Academic goals
  • Professional goals
  • Leadership experience
  • Quantitative and technical skills (quantitative coursework, professional experience, excel proficiency, AI, etc.) 

Optional Statement: Use this essay to provide any additional information you wish to share with the admissions committee. This is your opportunity to explain important details not covered elsewhere, including low undergraduate GPA, unexplained resume gaps, or other relevant context. 

Video Statement: Introduce yourself to the Admissions Committee. Be conversational and authentic as you tell us about yourself, your goals, your passions, and any other information that may not be included in your application materials. Video statement will be recorded within the application system - detailed instructions found within the application.

All programs require at least one letter of recommendation. Letter should be from someone who knows you well in a professional or academic setting. This person should be familiar with your work ethic, leadership skills, and ability to overcome challenges.
