MBA for CPAs: Goals Statement


The goals paper gives the faculty admissions committee an idea of why you are applying to the MBA for CPA’s program and also serves as a sample of your writing. The paper should be well organized, concise and free of grammar, punctuation and spelling errors. Try to limit your paper to two pages, double spaced.

What should be included in the goals statement?

When writing your paper, answer the following questions:

  1. Why are you interested in the MBA for CPA’s program?
  2. What is your career objective?
  3. How will an MBA help you achieve your career objective?
  4. Why do you feel you would be a good match for our program?

As you write, also keep the following in mind:

  • Specific references to the MBA for CPAs program
  • Significant achievements;
  • Career, community and personal activities
  • What you can contribute to this program

The goals paper is also a time for you to address any perceived weaknesses in your application. If your undergraduate GPA is low, tell us why. If there is a gap in your work experience, explain it in the goals paper.

Keep in mind that a poorly written essay may keep you out of a program. A well-written paper may be the deciding factor that gets you admitted.
