Admissions
 
Students interested in the M.H.A. degree program should submit the following:

• Official transcript with proof of bachelor's degree
• Letter of intent or personal essay
• Three letters of recommendation
• Official GRE, GMAT or LSAT scores (optional)
  

Applications are accepted throughout the year, and admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis.

Applicants who have completed their baccalaureate degrees five or more years prior to beginning the M.P.A. program may opt to waive the standardized test score requirement.

Applicants who completed an undergraduate degree less than five years previous to admission must also submit official GRE, GMAT or LSAT scores.

Applicants who are confident that they are ready to succeed in a graduate program but do not meet the M.H.A. admissions criteria may consider the following options to improve their chances of being accepted: 

(1) enroll as a graduate certificate or non-matriculating student and attain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better after completing at least four courses; 

(2) submit a standardized test score, such as the GRE, above the 50 percent level, even if the baccalaureate degree was awarded five or more years prior to starting one of the graduate programs; or 

(3) successfully complete the MBA pre-qualification courses offered by the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University.
