History

Admission to graduate programs at National University is based on evidence including the student\'s academic record in other institutions, test scores, interviews, professional experience, motivation, and educational objectives.

Applications are reviewed year round, and qualified applicants can begin classes any month of the year, depending on course offerings at their chosen learning facility.

• Applicants must hold a bachelor\'s degree or higher from a regionally accredited college or university where an overall grade point average of 2.5 or better was achieved, or where a grade point average of 2.75 or higher was achieved in the last 90 quarter units
• Students with a grade point average of 2.0 to 2.49 may be admitted to the University if they have a satisfactory score on one of the following tests: GMAT, GRE, Miller Analogies Test, or an approved, standardized program-specific exam. These tests are NOT required for those with a GPA over 2.5
• Students with an undergraduate grade point average of 2.0 to 2.49 may be accepted to National University on probation (instead of taking the above tests). Students who receive a grade below "B" during their first 4.5 quarter units while on probation are disqualified and must apply to the Committee on the Application of Standards to be considered for reinstatement
• Preliminary documentation of prior education must be presented at required interview with an admissions advisor. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable
• Complete an application for admission and enrollment agreement.
• Remit a non-refundable application fee of $60
