ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY
Fordham is committed to creating a diverse, intellectually motivated and dynamic community well-suited for professional leadership in an everchanging global economy. Our admissions philosophy is based on cura personalis, a Jesuit principle built on a deep respect for each individual and their
potential. The Admission’s Committee carefully reviews each application and evaluates the balance of an applicant’s academic and career potential. Key
areas of consideration are academic performance and potential, managerial and leadership promise, and overall professional goals and aspirations.
