UCLA Anderson Program is unique among deferred programs in that it only admits current college seniors from accredited US institutions. If admitted, they can defer their enrollment for up to five years. While working, admitted students have the opportunity to stay involved by attending in-person and remote events organized by UCLA Anderson.
The UCLA Anderson Deferred Enrollment Application Process
If your degree will be conferred between October 2024 and September 2025, you may apply in the 2024-2025 application cycle. Applicants to the Deferred Enrollment program follow the same application process as the regular UCLA Anderson applicants (with some minor variations in the application itself).
