Consortium for Graduate Study in Management
About The Consortium
An alliance of leading American business schools and some of our country’s top corporations, The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management seeks to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both our member schools’ enrollments and the ranks of management.
The Consortium recruits qualified U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents who can demonstrate a commitment to The Consortium’s mission.
Consortium Deadlines
Deadlines for Fall 2011 are November 15, 2011 and January 5, 2012. Decision notification for both rounds will be by March 1, 2012.
Consortium Application
The Haas School of Business is a proud member of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. Candidates who apply and are accepted through The Consortium are considered for full-tuition, merit-based Fellowships and benefit from ongoing professional development opportunities. We encourage candidates to apply to the Berkeley MBA program through the Consortium. (If you apply as a Consortium candidate, you are not required to complete the Full-time Berkeley MBA program application).
- Applicants who apply using the Consortium application undergo the same evaluation process as applicants who apply directly to the Berkeley MBA.
- Applying via the Consortium does not preclude applicants from being awarded other Berkeley MBA Scholarships.

Interviews
You may be invited to interview with Berkeley-Haas during the application review cycle. Interviews are by invitation only and are offered both on-campus and in cities around the world.
Joint Degrees
You may apply to the MBA/MPH program through The Consortium. You should indicate your intention when completing The Consortium application. Applicants to the MBA/MPH program do not need to complete any application materials separate from the MBA application. Please note that for fellowship recipients this only covers the first two years of the two and one half year MBA/MPH program.
Berkeley-Haas is not currently accepting applications for the JD/MBA joint degree through The Consortium. To apply for the JD/MBA concurrent degree, please apply directly through the Berkeley-Haas application.
