Admissions<\/h1>\n

<\/a>Graduate Admissions Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Loeb-Sullivan School, Department of Graduate Studies, invites applications from individuals interested in pursuing graduate study in international business, maritime management, or supply chain management.<\/p>\n

Admission decisions are based on evidence of academic capability, as demonstrated by undergraduate GPA, and evidence of motivation and preparedness, as demonstrated by the applicant\u2019s personal statement of interest and letters of recommendation. Essay responses are required, as the program is writing intensive.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants must hold a bachelor\u2019s degree from an accredited college or university. An undergraduate degree in business is not required.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Application Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applications to the Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business and Logistics are reviewed on a rolling basis. Prospective students may apply at any time and begin the program at the start of any academic session, provided all admission requirements have been met.<\/p>\n

Applicants submit an online application along with all required supporting materials, including official transcripts, letters of recommendation, a resume, and a personal statement of interest. Once all materials have been received, the application is considered complete and forwarded for review.<\/p>\n

Admission decisions are based on a holistic evaluation of the applicant\u2019s academic preparation, professional experience, motivation for graduate study, and demonstrated ability to succeed in a writing-intensive graduate program. Undergraduate academic performance, including cumulative GPA, is considered alongside qualitative materials such as the personal statement and letters of recommendation.<\/p>\n

Applicants who are required to submit standardized test scores or English-language proficiency documentation must ensure that official results are sent directly from the testing agency before an admissions decision can be finalized.<\/p>\n

Once a decision has been made, applicants are notified by the Loeb-Sullivan School. Admitted students receive enrollment instructions and information regarding registration, orientation, and next steps.
