For undergraduate programs, students must apply through the University of Notre Dame’s Common Application portal. As Mendoza is part of the undergraduate business major track, students are first admitted to the University and then pursue business courses starting sophomore year. The application includes academic transcripts, a personal essay, letters of recommendation, SAT/ACT scores (optional for some cycles), and proof of English proficiency for international applicants.
For postgraduate programs, including the MBA, MS in Business Analytics, MS in Finance, and Executive MBA, applications are submitted directly through the Mendoza College of Business admissions website. Required materials generally include academic transcripts, GMAT/GRE scores (waivers available for some programs), a résumé, statement of purpose or essays, letters of recommendation, and an admissions interview for shortlisted candidates.
Visa Requirements:
International students must obtain a U.S. F-1 student visa. Once admitted, the Office of International Students and Scholars (ISSA) provides the required Form I-20. Students must prove financial support and English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) as part of the visa process.
Scholarships:
Mendoza offers a wide range of merit-based scholarships for both domestic and international students. These include:
-
Dean’s Fellowships
-
Mendoza Merit Scholarships
-
Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships
-
External Partnerships and Sponsorships
