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.

General Keller Admission Requirements

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 2.70 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. Admission test scores are valid up to five years from the date tests are completed.

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.

Prerequisite Skills Requirements

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. Selected programs have additional program-related prerequisite skills requirements, which are noted in the program descriptions and in the Graduate Academic Catalog.

English-Language-Proficiency Admissions Requirements

All instruction and services are provided in English.

In addition to fulfilling all other admission requirements, applicants whose native language is other than English must demonstrate English-language proficiency by providing evidence of one of the following:

• Submission of a high school diploma, or post-secondary degree or higher, earned at an institution at which the language of instruction was English*.
• Submission of a post-secondary transcript verifying completion of 30 semester-credit hours of baccalaureate-level courses (excluding remedial and developmental courses) with at least a C (70 percent) average from an institution at which the language of instruction was English*.
• Submission of an earned Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 550 on the paper-based TOEFL, 213 on the computer-based TOEFL or 79 on the Internet-based TOEFL**.
• Submission of an overall band score of at least 5.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam**
• Submission of an overall score of at least 4.5 on the International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP) Academic-Plus exam**.
• Completion of either of the following, with a grade of B (80 percent) or higher, from a DeVry-approved post-secondary institution or community college:
  • The equivalent of DeVry's freshman English composition course.
  • Two or more baccalaureate-level English writing or composition courses.
• Documents verifying at least two years' service in the U.S. military.
• Having attained an acceptable score on a DeVry-administered English-language-proficiency exam.

At DeVry University locations offering an ESL program, different English-language-proficiency requirements apply. Details are available in location-specific English as a Second Language supplements.

*Students who submit a transcript from a post-secondary institution (or higher) at which English was the primary language of instruction may submit a letter from the institution's registrar indicating the language of instruction at the institution was English.

**Applicants not requiring an I-20 who do not meet the minimum score requirement may be admitted. Provided an ESL program is not offered at the chosen location, such applicants, if admitted, must attempt GM410 during their first session of enrollment and successfully complete the course by the end of their second session of enrollment.
