Admission Requirements

In addition to the NLU Graduate Admission Requirements, the Graduate School of Business and Leadership requires the following:

• A professional resume. (In lieu of a resume, U.S. military personnel may submit a copy of their DD214 and U.S. government employees may submit a copy of their SF171.)

Applicants with bachelor's degrees from non-regionally accredited U.S. institutions may be admitted with two-course review status, subject to the decision of the program. The institution awarding the bachelor's degree must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Education maintains a database of institutions accredited by such agencies. 

Specific graduate programs may have additional admissions requirements. See programs for details.
