Fulfill the Requirements for Admission

To be eligible to apply to the SDSU Graduate Business Programs, you will need to fulfill the requirements listed below. The requirements for applying to all three of the SDSU Graduate Business programs are identical.

Undergraduate Degree
Applicants to SDSU Graduate Business Programs are expected to have completed a four year undergraduate degree. Students who are applying to a graduate business program during their last year of undergraduate study are eligible to apply and will be required to provide proof of completion of their undergraduate degree if admitted. Three-year bachelor degree programs completed by international students are reviewed on a case by case basis by the Graduate Admissions office (619-594-6336).

Testing
All students who apply to the Graduate Business Programs must take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Only applicants who hold a doctoral degree or JD degree may be exempt from taking the GMAT, no other exceptions are granted.

Additionally, all students regardless of citizenship, whose preparatory education was principally in a language other than English, must demonstrate competence in English. Those who do not possess a bachelor's degree from a post secondary institution where English is the principal language of instruction must take either the TOEFL or IELTS.

Students should give themselves enough time to prepare for these exams and have the scores reported to SDSU before the application deadline. Spring semester domestic applicants should take the GMAT no later than November 1. International applicants for the spring semester should take the GMAT and the TOEFL or IELTS no later than October 1. Fall semester domestic and international applicants should take the GMAT and/or TOEFL/IELTS no later than February 1.

International Applicants
International students are required to provide the SDSU Financial Statement Form. The form must show that the applicant has the minimum funds available for one academic year. It is not required that you submit the form at the same time as the application; however, it is recommended in order to expedite processing. You cannot be officially admitted until this document is approved. The form and further information about the requirement can be found at: http://www.isc.sdsu.edu/prospective/iwant_graduate3.html.

Additionally, all applicants with international course work are required to submit an Evaluation Report to be considered for admission. Evaluation reports must be detailed, course-by-course evaluations with equivalent U.S. credits and grades. The report determines how equivalent are your foreign studies to the U.S. educational system. Consult SDSU’s International Student Center for more details about this requirement.
