Two letters of recommendation and evidence of GMAT/GRE scores (Masters of Science program applicants only).
A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or its equivalent is mandatory for enrollment into the graduate programs.
The bachelor's degree or its equivalent should demonstrate a minimum CGPA of 2.7 (equivalent to B-) on a 4.0 scale.
Additionally, applicants need to submit a comprehensive resume detailing their professional experiences, extracurricular involvements, and educational background.
Conditional admission to MBA and MS programs is possible for candidates with CGPA below 2.7. This decision takes into account the applicant's personal statement, recommendation letters, and thorough review of prior academic transcripts. Students admitted conditionally will be granted regular graduate status upon achieving a GPA of at least 3.0 within a single term comprising 9 units, or over two consecutive terms totaling at least 15 units. Students with CGPA of 2.5 and 2.6 may enroll in MBA courses without prerequisites. Undergraduate courses are offered to conditionally accepted students with CGPA between 2.0 and 2.4 until they obtain regular status. Students with a first-term GPA below 2.5 are subject to dismissal. Those with a CGPA of 2.5 to 2.9 can continue with conditional status for one additional term. Consecutive conditional terms are limited to two. Based on extracurricular achievements, the Provost has the authority to confer regular graduate status on a student, considering factors such as GMAT or GRE scores, work experience summary, research projects, or publications.
The MBA Executive concentration (EMBA) mandates a minimum of three years' experience in managerial roles.
A pair of recommendation letters is required, with at least one provided by a faculty member affirming the applicant's suitability for MS study. This requirement is waived for individuals holding LU BA or MBA degrees.
A GMAT score of 500 or an equivalent GRE score is stipulated (waived for those with a master's degree possessing a CGPA of 3.2 or higher).
Students without GMAT/GRE scores and/or recommendation letters may receive conditional admission. Regular status will be granted upon achieving a GPA of 3.2 or above within the first term of at least 9 units, or by submitting the requisite GMAT/GRE scores and/or recommendation letters. These deficiencies must be addressed during the initial term of study.
For documents originally in a foreign language, it is mandatory to provide notarized English translations.
