Please provide syllabi for the courses in which you would like to receive transfer credit.

The MBA director completes the form and submits the approval and request for transfer credit to be awarded.
Because tuition at the graduate level is offered at a tremendous discount, we are unable to offer scholarships to any student, domestic or international. However, after arriving on campus, several international students have been able to obtain graduate assistant positions which offer half-off tuition plus minimum wage for up to 20 hours of work per week. These positions, which are limited and therefore quite competitive, can only be offered to accepted students.
Yes, though international students may only work on campus. There are a sufficient number of positions available to students who would like to work.
Yes, we have many housing options for international students.
No. See the Admission Requirements for more information.
