Transcript:
Transcripts from all institutions attended must be submitted to the Darla Moore School of Business as part of the admissions process. This includes graduate level credit (if applicable) and any credit received from an institution in which you did not graduate (i.e. transfer credit). These documents must be sent to the Moore School's Graduate Division in a sealed envelope from the respective institution. The Moore School has access to transcripts of USC graduates, and no further action is required if the University of South Carolina was the last school you attended.
Please send all transcripts to:

Personal Statement:
The application also asks for a Statement of Purpose (maximum of 500 words) that should outline why you want to earn the MBA degree. Additionally, there is a short essay question to answer. You may also add a personal essay (Optional Essay section) should you want to share additional information for the admission committee to review.
Recommendation Letter:
Two letters of recommendation are required for your application. It is acceptable to have either professional or academic letters of recommendation; however, we encourage candidates to submit recent professional letters of reference when possible. Professional references could be written by a supervisor, colleague or client who has had significant interaction with you in a professional capacity.
We encourage recommenders to submit their letters through the online application system. During the application process, the applicant is able to send an electronic request to the designated recommender. The recommender is then able to complete the review within the online system or upload a saved document.
If necessary, the applicant or the recommender may send completed letters in a sealed envelope to:
