Academic Eligibility:

• Students must have completed a full sequence of studies that would qualify them for admission to university-level work in their own country. Additionally, freshman international students must have completed a recognized secondary program comparable to U.S. high school graduation, and have academic records demonstrating achievement comparable to the achievement required by the domestic Freshman Admission Requirements. Completed course work must be equivalent to the twelve-year program in the United States. To qualify as official, documents must be sent to the Missouri State Office of International Services directly from the issuing institution. 
• Students are required to submit SAT or ACT scores. 
  • Students may not need an ACT or SAT score to be admitted. If they have a high school cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher, then students meet the selection index requirements, and a test score is not needed for admission purposes.
• Proof of student’s proficiency in English is required if their primary language is not English. Persons who have completed one or more years of university-level study in the U.S. may be exempt at the discretion of the International Services Office. International students hailing from non-English speaking countries must submit TOEFL/IELTS... or any equivalent test score reports to meet the English proficiency requirement.
• Admission decisions will be determined by applicants’ combined (Missouri State plus transfer) grade point averages. All applicants whose combined grade point average is 2.50 or higher will be admitted. With written permission from the Business Advisement Center Director, a student may take up to, but not exceeding, 12 hours of upper-level College of Business credit while working to satisfy the grade point average requirement.
• Students must gain admission to the College of Business by the semester in which they have earned a total of 60 semester hours of college credit (including transfer credit).
