For successful admission to the GRADUATE SCHOOL, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• To be admitted to GRADUATE SCHOOL, you need to meet the following requirements. You must have completed an undergraduate degree from a recognized higher education institution (HEI). Admission to a master’s program requires a minimum academic average grade of 80, while admission to a doctoral program requires a relevant master’s degree from an accredited HEI, with a general average of at least 85.
• For non-verticalized degree programs (e.g. from MPA to PhD BA), applicants will be required to take a bridging program composed of 9 units toward the doctoral specialization (including 3 units of research).
• For research doctoral programs, you must have passed a master’s thesis, while non-thesis graduates must complete six units of research courses if they wish to pursue a research degree at the doctoral level (e.g. Doctor of Philosophy) and submit a research paper. Provisional admission may be given to students who do not meet full admission requirements, but it is only valid for one semester.
• By way of exception, any student with a lower general average may initially be admitted on a probationary basis for one semester. After demonstrating the capacity to undertake graduate or post-graduate studies, he/she may be formally admitted to the program.
• Provisional admission may be given to students falling short of full admission requirements. Provisional admissions are valid for one semester only. Failure to comply with the requirements of admission after one semester will entail being dropped from the program.
