Application Process

Before completing your application, please read this section thoroughly and review all instructions.
In general, it is most efficient to distribute requests for recommendations early in the application process. This way, your requests can be “in process”, while you are completing the remainder of the application requirements.

A suggested process for completing the application is below, with paragraphs describing each item in further detail (items correlate to specific Forms as noted):

1. Prepare transcripts and distribute statement of corporate support & recommendation forms  (Forms 3 and 4).
2. Consider taking the TOEFL as required. Request that your score report be sent to Al Akhawayn University. You may include an unofficial score report with your application if you have received it. Report other graduate test scores on your application as applicable.
3. Prepare the admission application, forms (Forms 1 and 2).
4. Prepare your resume.
5. Write your essays.
6. Sign your application in all required locations.
7. Photocopy the completed application for your records.
8. After your recommendations have been returned to you, mail all application materials together to the Executive Education Center. Collate your material according to the checklist.

Application Fee

All applications must be accompanied by a nonrefundable 500 Moroccan Dirhams application fee. This fee is not credited to tuition or other fees in the event of admission. Payment may be made by cash or by personal check.

Application Forms

Fill out all requested information completely and sign where indicated. Your application will not be processed without your signatures as indicated.

Your Resume

Please include a one to two page resume that highlights your education, academic focus, and honors you received; work experience, responsibilities, and accomplishments (organized by company); and organizations to which you belong. Your resume can also include bullet points highlighting specific skills such as languages as well as personal interests or leadership qualities.

Essay Questions

Respond to the four required essay questions, typed on separate sheets. Please limit yourself to the number of words noted, using 11-point font with 1.5 line spacing.

Statement of Corporate Support - Form 3

Have the corporate sponsorship form completed and signed by the appropriate individual at your company.

This form specifically states that the company endorses your participation in the program, is aware of the time demands, and will provide you release time from work on class days.

Self-employed individuals do not have to file in this form.

Transcripts

You should submit the original or a certified copy of your transcript from each college or university you have attended. Additionally, submit a certified copy of transcripts from any professional schools or non-degree programs you may have attended.

Recommendations - Form 4

We suggest that you request recommendations early in the application process. Have each recommendation returned to you in a sealed envelope for inclusion with your admissions packet. We suggest that you request recommendations from persons who have been directly responsible for assessing your managerial performance as well as future potential. At least two recommendations should come from an employer or supervisor.

Photographs

Please provide eight passport-size photographs in the appropriate envelope. Photographs will not be returned. Please write your full name at the back of each photograph

Important: The University reserves the right to ask for additional information.

Interviews

Once your completed application is received by the Executive Education Center, you will be contacted to arrange an interview. We are proud of the quality and diversity of our students at Al Akhawayn University. The best way for us to maintain this level of excellence is to individually assess the strengths of each candidate. For this reason, the Graduate Admissions Committee considers the evaluative interview an essential part of the application review. The committee  consists of professional admissions officers who interview candidates and evaluate applications for admission.
