Apply business and leadership expertise to amplify social change
During Heller's 16-month, AACSB-accredited MBA program, you will:
Acquire management training exclusively focused on social impact at a top-ranked institution for social policy
Become part of a cooperative network of intentional leaders committed to driving societal progress
Develop skills to guide purpose-oriented organizations in nonprofit, government, and corporate sectors
As a Heller scholar, you'll collaborate with the Career Development Center to clarify your professional aspirations and create action plans. Starting with the virtual Career Academy before orientation, MBA candidates consult with career specialists, participate in skill-building sessions, and connect with potential employers. You'll receive comprehensive support throughout your journey, from early career exploration to resume crafting, networking guidance, and mock interviews.
By graduation, you'll master strategic planning, operational enhancement, financial analysis of programs, impact assessment, and ethical leadership across diverse stakeholder groups. Our MBA graduates secure rewarding positions through alumni connections, Team Consulting Projects, the Board Fellows initiative, career exploration trips, and employer presentations. According to a recent survey, all 2018 MBA alumni were either employed or pursuing further education within one year of completing the program.

Qualification Requirements
Statement of Purpose
The statement of purpose is a pivotal piece of the entire application package and should discuss the applicant's reasons for applying to the MBA program. Applicants should articulate how the MBA will help them meet their personal and professional goals and cite experiences that have influenced their interests, social concerns, and career goals. Applicants may also include any information they deem relevant to their potential as a graduate student including special circumstances affecting prior course work or standardized test results.
Transcripts
A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution is required.
In order to apply, you should list and upload transcripts for post-secondary institutions (undergraduate and graduate) if:
You earned or will earn a degree at that institution OR
You attended that institution for one year or more AND the courses and/or credits from that institution do not appear on another transcript you are uploading. You do not need to upload transcripts for courses and/or credits if the grades are listed on another institution's transcript that you are uploading (e.g., study abroad coursework credits that transferred to your bachelor's transcript, credits taken at one institution that were transferred to another university from which you earned your degree, etc).
Letters of Recommendation
Applicants to the MBA program must submit two letters of recommendation. One should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution at which you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor. However, if you last attended university five or more years ago, applicants can forgo the academic letter and submit two professional letters instead.
Resume/Curriculum Vitae
Applicants should submit a professional resume or curriculum vitae outlining all work and educational experiences, including any volunteer activities, detailing particularly those relevant to their proposed field of study, any academic and non-academic honors or prizes awarded, and publications and research projects with which the applicant has been associated.
We do not set a minimum required score for either test, but rather, our admissions committees take a holistic approach to reviewing applications and considers every part of the application carefully. That being said, the majority of our successful applicants tend to have a score of at least 94 on the TOEFL, a 7.0 on the IELTS, or a 115 on the Duolingo English Test
