Admission Requirements

• Graduate Application for Admission and $30 Application Fee
• Unofficial or official transcripts
  • Applicants can choose to submit unofficial transcripts for initial review. If admitted, the applicant must submit an official transcript for each unofficial transcript upload. See our full policy for more details.  
  • A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution is required.
  • All transcripts from non-U.S.-based institutions must be course-by-course evaluated by a NACES or AICE academic credential evaluation company to obtain equivalency information on courses, grades, and degrees earned. Upload a copy of this course-by-course evaluation to serve as your unofficial transcript from that institution. Please note: If choosing to upload an unofficial evaluation, please contact the evaluating agency to ensure the same official version can be sent at a later date. Unofficial and official evaluations must be conducted by the same evaluation company to ensure consistency.  
• Essay (1-2 pages, double-spaced)
  • Why are you choosing the MBA program at Shenandoah University? What are your aspirations and career goals?
• Resume/C.V.
• Language Proficiency Requirement must be met. Submission of TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo English Test (DET) may be required. See our policy for full details.
• An optional letter of recommendation

After you submit the above requirements, the Admissions Committee will evaluate your materials for eligibility. An interview may be required, and the Program Director will contact you directly via email to schedule the interview which can be conducted virtually or in person.

When your complete application is received, the MBA Program Director evaluates it and determines your eligibility.  If you are found eligible, an interview with the MBA Admissions Committee may be scheduled.  If you cannot come to the interview in person a phone or video-conference interview will be scheduled.

*Applicants requiring an F-1 visa from Shenandoah who apply after the priority deadline will be considered on a case by case basis.
