Transcripts & GPAs

One set of sealed, official transcripts from every college and university you attended must be submitted for review by the Admissions Committee. Applicants should obtain these documents in sealed envelopes from the institutions they attended.

Once you receive the transcripts, please forward them to the ASU Graduate College in a complete package with all supplemental documents as outlined in the Supplemental Document Cover Sheet. Please include your Document Reference Number on each of the items. This information is used for authentication and matching purposes only.

Transcripts from community colleges, transfer credits and advanced college credit courses also should be submitted.

Official transcripts for students who previously attended ASU do not need to be submitted, nor do transcripts for undergraduate credits transferred to ASU.

International Transcripts

International transcript requirements are more detailed and may require official translations.

Eligible Transcripts

To be eligible for admission to graduate studies, transcripts should reflect the following:

• U.S. bachelor's degree or the equivalent from a regionally accredited institution. A bachelor's degree in the U.S. is a four-year degree that follows 12 years of primary and secondary school work. International applicants should review information regarding international degrees .
• Equivalent to a B grade point average in the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of undergraduate coursework is preferred.

Transcript Reviews

The Admissions Committee will review transcripts and GPAs and incorporate information such as major and institution attended as part of the evaluation process. Post-baccalaureate coursework at the community college, undergraduate or graduate level may be used to enhance a lower undergraduate GPA. If you are concerned about your past academic performance, you may use the third essay question in the online application to provide the Admissions Committee with additional information about your GPA. Personal, academic or financial constraints that may have impacted your academic performance should be addressed.

Transfer Credits

Transfer credits are not accepted by the W. P. Carey MBA Program due to the lock-step nature of our curriculum.
