Entry Requirements

:

To be admitted to DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School, applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from a DeVryrecognized post-secondary institution. This includes institutions accredited by U.S. regional accrediting agencies or selected national accrediting agencies, and international institutions recognized as the equivalent. International applicants must hold a degree recognized as equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree. Applicants must also demonstrate quantitative and verbal skills proficiency (see Prerequisite Skills Requirements). No specific undergraduate concentration or preparatory coursework is required for admission.

The various requirements are as follows:

  • Applicants who meet baccalaureate degree requirements and whose undergraduate cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is 2.70 or higher (on a 4.00 scale) are
    eligible for admission.
  • Applicants who meet baccalaureate degree requirements and whose undergraduate CGPA is below 2.70 must also 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 the DeVry University Assessment Center. GMAT and GRE test scores are valid up to five years from the date tests are completed. No time limit applies to scores from our alternative admission test.
  • Applicants must also complete a personal interview with an admissions advisor (admissions representative in Florida, Minnesota, Nebraska and Oregon). Interviews can be scheduled during day or evening hours on weekdays, or on Saturday, by appointment, by contacting the center dean or an admissions advisor.

  • All admission decisions are based on evaluation of a candidate’s academic credentials, applicable admission test scores and interview.
