Application Requirements

The DeGroote School of Business requires all applicants to meet the following minimum requirements:

• Successful completion of a master’s degree with a minimum B+ grade point average or equivalent. The master’s degree should be in a related field as outlined in the ‘Fields of Study’ section of this web site. Applicants in the final stages of a master’s degree will be considered and may be granted admission conditional on the completion of the degree prior to registration in our program.
• A minimum Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score of 600. In lieu of a GMAT score, a comparable Graduate Records Exam (GRE) score will be considered.
  * Please note that GMAT and GRE test scores are valid for 5 years.

• Applicants whose native language is not English will be required to demonstrate English language proficiency by providing a valid TOEFL test score at the time of application. Successful applicants will normally achieve a score of at least 100 and a minimum of 22 in the reading component, 22 in the listening component, 26 in the speaking component and 24 in the writing component on the Internet-Based Test (IBT); or 600 on the Paper-Based Test (PBT); or 250 on the Computer-Based Test (CBT). We may also consider the equivalent score on other recognized tests. Applicants are exempted from this requirement if they have completed a university degree where English was the language of instruction.
  * Please note that test scores are valid for two years.

Applicants should be aware that the above requirements represent our minimum standards only and meeting these standards does not guarantee admission to the program. The application process is very competitive and the admission committee members review each individual’s application in its entirety. The above requirements are required of all applicants and will not be waived under any circumstances.
