Online alternatives of brick-and-mortar business courses are far more viable and affordable solution for millions of job seekers out there and also the working professionals who want to give their careers that extra boost. If you are among the long queue of students who apply for admission each year, why not check out the basic admissions criteria?

Admission requirements for Certificate and Bachelor’s degrees

Admission requirements largely vary from one B-school to another. Accredited colleges have hard-and-fast admission criteria whereas if you opt for unaccredited colleges, you may enjoy some leniency. However, unaccredited degree and diploma programs are not recommended as these programs will reach you nowhere. Here below are some general admission guidelines for the business degree programs offered by the reputable online colleges based in the USA.

  • GED test certificate (proof of high school certification and equivalent)
  • SAT reasoning test score/ACT test score (You can take the test through an online B-school as well)
  • Completely filled in application form
  • Application fee as defined by the college you are taking admission in
  • Proof of Proficiency in English or TOWFL Test certificate (for foreign students only)
  • Admission interview (The college admission counselors generally interview the aspirants over the phone/usually take 20 to 30 minutes)

Additional requirements for the Masters degrees

If you have already completed your grad studies and are specifically looking for postgraduate courses such as Masters in Business, you should also submit your graduation certificate conferred by an accredited college. Some colleges also have entrance examinations and you need to be through the same for getting admitted. On the other hand, some business schools also require the applicants to submit their updated resumes that should clearly reflect the total work experience and the educational qualification of the applicants.

Is GMAT score required?

At E Degree USA, we often receive queries from business degree aspirants regarding GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) scores and whether this is a basic requirement for taking admission in an online B-school or not. For your further reference, many reputable business schools in the US do not ask for GMAT scores during the admission procedure. But if you can get through the exam, it would be highly beneficial for your future endeavors. We, therefore, recommend sharpening your language (English) and mathematics skills to get through the exam.

One small tip

Colleges are increasingly giving preference to promising students and the interview round is highly crucial for getting admitted in top colleges America. Therefore, you should keep your papers ready and take preparations for cracking the interview as well. Be careful while filling in the application form.
