APSU’s College of Graduate Studies has general minimum admissions requirements for all student types (First-time Graduate, Graduate Transfer, International, and Non-Degree Seeking) set for the University and publishes those requirements in the Graduate Bulletin and APSU Policy 2:038 Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions Policy. The College of Graduate Studies general admissions requirements include a conferred bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and a minimum GPA of 2.5 using a 4-point scale. Each graduate program may impose additional admissions requirements as relevant and necessary.

Transfer Policy

Students may transfer up to six hours of approved coursework from an AACSB-accredited institution. The graduate coordinator or appropriate faculty member of the graduate program will evaluate the course(s) being proposed for transfer to determine suitability.
