Admission Requirements

A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university is required. Official transcripts of all previous undergraduate and graduate studies are also required. Transcripts in any language other than English must be accompanied by an official translation and evaluation. Transcripts should be sent from the institution directly to the HGU Admission Office. A minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 is required.

Admission Procedure :

Complete an Application Form online or submit a hard copy. You can only submit one application per academic year. Application forms are also available in the HGU Admissions Office.
An official sealed educational transcript from any colleges you or are currently attending must be submitted. Transcripts in any language other than English must be accompanied by an official translation and evaluation. Transcripts should be sent from the institution directly to the HGU Admission Office.
Take the entrance assessment tests. The scores will not affect the admission evaluation of the applicants; they are for reference purposes only.
Submit the one-time, non-refundable $50 application fee by the appropriate application deadline.

Once the application, transcripts and fees have been received, the HGU admissions office will provide an individualized evaluation service and the approved credit transfer policy to transfer credit for each applicant. A copy of the evaluation report will be provided to the accepted applicant.

Entrance Assessment Tests :
The entrance assessment tests are required for reference purposes. They will not affect the admission evaluation for the applicants. Applicants for the MBA program are required to take either the GMAT or the on-campus equivalent assessment test. Applicants for the MSCS and MSEE program are required to take either the GRE or the on-campus equivalent assessment test. Those who are required to enroll in ESL classes are allowed to take the test after passing the advanced ESL classes.

Background preparation :
The background preparation for each graduate program is described at the beginning of each program. In the admission evaluation report received by each applicant, background deficiencies are identified, if any. The student is required to clear the deficiencies at HGU before taking graduate level courses. The graduate student may clear each background deficiency by taking and passing the subject course (an undergraduate course). With advance approval by the academic Council, the student may be allowed to clear a deficiency by taking a challenge exam on the subject. Graduate students in the business programs have the option to take preparatory module studies to clear their deficiencies.
