Consortium

Fuqua is a member of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, an organization whose mission is to enhance diversity and inclusion in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the significant underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans in both its member schools’ enrollment and the ranks of management.

Applicants who wish to apply to Fuqua through the Consortium should complete the Consortium application instead of the Fuqua application. Fuqua’s admissions criteria and evaluation process for those applying through the Consortium are identical for those applying directly to Fuqua.

• The Consortium application has the same questions and requirements as the Fuqua application.
• Applicants using the Consortium application undergo the same evaluation process as applicants who apply directly to Fuqua.
• Consortium applicants are subject to the same interview policy as direct applicants.

Benefits of applying through the Consortium:

• Consideration for Membership in the Consortium: members gain lifetime access to a network of corporate partners, recruiters, and Consortium alumni across member schools.
• Consideration for a Consortium Fellowship: applicants admitted through the Consortium process who become Consortium members have the possibility of funding opportunities to fully over, or offset the cost, of a full-time MBA program.
• Common Application: the Consortium application allows applicants to apply to multiple member schools at a significantly reduced fee.

The Consortium application opens each year on August 15 and has two application deadlines, October 15 and January 5.

The Consortium application is only available for student applicants who are applying to our Daytime MBA program. Applicants to all other programs should utilize the Fuqua application.
