International Student Admission
Minimum Eligibility Requirements
The minimum eligibility requirements for international students applying to the Graduate School include:
1. A bachelor's degree considered to be the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree.
2. Evidence of English language proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS).
3. Past academic performance considered "above average."
4. Demonstrated ability to pay for your educational and living expenses for the duration of your master's degree program (two years).
These requirements incorporate both requirements stated by the Graduate School at Bradley University and the USCIS.
The bachelor's degree requirement is met by most applicants who complete a four-year university-level degree program in their country. A three-year bachelor's degree, such as the B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., LL.B., etc. is not considered equivalent to a US bachelor's degree. In those circumstances, applicants are required to complete the two-year M.S., M.S., M.Com., LL.M., etc., in order to be eligible to apply. An additional one year of study beyond the B.A., B.Sc., etc., does not fulfill the minimum eligibility requirement.
