    Application Instructions
    Thank you for taking the time to apply for the online Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Management! Our hope is that during the application we get the opportunity to learn about you.

    There are no right or wrong answers to the essay questions, and no formulas are used when we read them. We simply want to learn more about your background, and these questions are an opportunity for us to better understand your interest in the program as well as a chance for you to provide us with helpful information.

    You can choose to tell us about an experience in a community or nonprofit organization, student group, or your work environment. In your answer, tell us about the situation or task, focusing on your role, any actions that you took, and the results.

    A complete application includes answers to three questions and you may choose to answer the optional question.

    NOTE: For all of the questions, we'd like to hear about both the good and the bad. What went well and not so well? What would you do differently if you had another chance to repeat the experience?
    Choose and respond to THREE of the following questions. Each response should be 300 to 500 words.
    Save your responses to a Word or PDF document. Prior to each question response, COPY the question so we may associate your response to the question you selected. Once complete, upload your document below.

    Your responses must be your own work and ideas. Boise State policy prohibits presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, including as part of an application process. This includes the use of generative AI (artificial intelligence).
    1. Can you describe a time when you noticed something that wasn't working well (for example, in your organization, at school or with a volunteer group)? What did you do to fix or improve the situation?

    2. Tell us about a time when you faced a difficult situation or obstacle. How did you handle it, and what did you learn?

    3. Tell us about a time when you had the opportunity to share your ideas or information with others (e.g., giving a class presentation, leading a group discussion or explaining something to a manager, teacher or coach). How did it go?

    4. Can you give an example of a time when you made a positive difference (such as within an organization, club, sports team, class project or job)?

    5. Tell us about a time when you got to make an important choice or decision in a group, team or organization. What was the situation, and how did you decide what to do?
    You may also choose to answer the following optional question: Is there anything else you would like to share with the Management program admissions committee?

    When you click the submit button below, your Management BBA application and uploaded materials will be submitted to the Management program admissions committee.
