Meet Keller Admission Requirements and Start Your Graduate Education On Campus or Online

To be admitted to Keller Graduate School of Management, for an education on campus, online or a mix of both, you will need to meet some general Keller admissions requirements as well as Prerequisite Skills Requirements and English-Proficiency Requirements. While the following information provides an overview of Keller's admission requirements, you can find more specific details in the Graduate Academic Catalog.

If you hold a bachelor's degree from a University-recognized institution, you are eligible for admission to Keller Graduate School of Management. Other than demonstrating math and verbal skills proficiency, as described in prerequisite skills requirements below, no specific undergraduate concentration or preparatory coursework is required for admission. However, if your undergraduate GPA is below 2.50 on a 4.0 scale, you must achieve acceptable scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Keller-administered admission test. The Keller-administered test may be completed, by appointment, wherever the University's graduate programs are offered or through University's Assessment Center. GMAT and GRE test scores are valid up to five years from the date of the exams.

If you are an International student applying from outside the United States, you need to hold a degree recognized as equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree to be eligible for admission. You also will need to fulfill Keller's English-Proficiency Requirements, as all instructions and services are provided in English. See International Section for additional details.

As a Keller applicant, you will need to demonstrate math and verbal skills proficiency. Proficiency can be demonstrated by submitting acceptable GMAT, GRE or Keller-administered test scores, or through prior coursework performance. Applicants whose demonstrated proficiency indicates they are prepared to enroll directly into their program's standard coursework without any preceding prerequisite skills coursework are referred to as placing at the standard level. Selected programs have additional program-related prerequisite skills requirements, which are noted in the program descriptions and in the Graduate Academic Catalog.
