Admissions Requirements

Applicants should normally submit the following materials 60 days before the beginning of the term in which they wish to enroll.

1. Applicants must submit the following documents:
   • Application Form
   • Application Fee of U.S. $80, which is neither refundable nor applicable against other school fees.
   • Official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions previously attended, foreign and/or U.S. institutions, directly to the Director of Graduate Admission.  A U.S. $225 credential evaluation fee or United States equivalency evaluation must accompany transcripts from foreign institutions certified by an approved evaluation service.  Graduates or former students of Saint Leo University do not need to submit transcripts if they have previously submitted them and are on file at the University.
   • Two professional recommendations from work associates completed on the forms provided.  Work associates include current and former supervisors.
   • Current Resume
   • Statement of professional goals
   
   
2. Applicants must meet the following requirements:
   • A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university
   • A minimum of two years of professional work experience
   • A minimum 3.0/4.0 GPA in last 60 hours of coursework from a regionally accredited college or university
   • If the applicant has less than 3.0/4.0 GPA, a minimum GMAT score of 500 can be used to meet this criteria.  Official GMAT test results should be mailed directly to the Director of Graduate Admission.  Test scores more than five years old are not accepted.
   • Applicants who do not meet the admissions requirements may be evaluated by the MBA Director, who may recommend admission to the Office of Graduate Admission.  If accepted, the student will be given a conditional admission that allows the student to take only one course during his/her first enrolled term, and the student must earn a grade of B or higher to continue in the program.
   
   
3. All international students whose native language is not English are required to submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test).  Applicants holding an undergraduate degree from an academic institution with the United States, an English-=speaking country, or from an institution where the language of instruction is English are not required to take the TOEFL examination.
   
   
4. Contingent admission as non-degree-seeking students may be granted only for up to six credit hours of graduate work.
   
   
5. After the application has been processed, the Director of Graduate Admission may contact the applicant for a personal interview.

Admission decisions are competitive and based on consideration of all criteria. All candidates will be accepted for admission who, in the judgment of the University, clearly show the potential for success in graduate work. Each applicant is evaluated individually. The candidate's motivation, maturity, work experience and leadership qualities are carefully considered along with academic records and test scores. Applications will remain active for two years after receipt.
