Non-native English speakers will be required to submit a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores.

The MS SBC is completely an online Master’s degree program; no student visas will be sponsored for this program.

International applicants must submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score to the SBC admissions committee. A minimum TOEFL score of at least 102 (iBT), 253 (CBT), or 610 (PBT); or minimum IELTS academic exam scores of 6.5 overall and 6.0 in all subsections are required for non-native English speakers.

International students must submit attested English translations of all transcripts. While we can review your application and make a decision using scanned copies of transcripts and degree certificates uploaded to the application, official and original copies will eventually be required. Therefore, it will save you time and trouble to send all the required documents at the time of application.

All MS-SBC applicants will be required to submit one essay. The topic will be available in the application.

Each applicant is required to submit three letters of recommendation. We recommend your references come from individuals who know you in a professional setting, who are at a higher level than you are professionally and who can speak to your leadership capabilities and to your commitment to succeed in a rigorous program. At least one of the letters should come from your current or previous supervisor.

The application for the master’s program includes a non-refundable fee of $70 for domestic applicants and $90 for international applicants.
