Admission
Criteria
IUB
offers internationally recognized Degree Programs to applicants
who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and
who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely
to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields
through teaching, research, or professional practice.
The
minimum graduate admission requirements are:
(1) a bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited
institution;
(2) enough undergraduate training to do graduate work in your chosen
field; and
(3) a satisfactory scholastic average, usually a minimum grade-point
average (GPA) of 3.0 (B). Satisfying minimal standards, however,
does not guarantee your admission, since the number of qualified
applicants far exceeds the number of places available. As a result,
many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.
Admission
decisions are based on a combination of factors, including academic
degrees and records, the statement of purpose, letters of recommendation,
test scores, and relevant work experience. Berkeley also considers
the appropriateness of your goals to the degree program in which
you are interested and to the research interests of the program’s
faculty. In addition, consideration may be given as to how your
background and life experience would contribute significantly to
an educationally beneficial mix of students.
