1. Completed International Application for Admission.

other than English, complete and certified true English translations must be furnished together with the
official documents in that language. Photocopies or other copies must be certified true. All academic
transcripts must be signed by the appropriate school or government official and must include the seal of
the school or the government.
3. A minimum 79 on iBT is required of all graduate applicants who do not have a baccalaureate degree
from an English speaking country. IELTS score of 6.5 could replace the TOEFL requirement. If your

with Castleton’s English Language Transition Program. The University’s TOEFL code is 3765.
4. Two recommendation letters, a current resume, and a written statement (limited to 250 words).

both your living expenses and tuition expenses while attending Castleton University. Refer to the
Confidential Financial Certification for details.

GMAT is required. Castleton University business alumni who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.0
and have received an average grade of B or higher in undergraduate accounting coursework are not
required to take the GMAT for admittance. Students who do not meet the requirements may apply for
provisional admittance. If accepted provisionally, students may complete up to ten graduate level
credits during the probationary period. A student who has successfully completed nine credits with a

application for admission and supporting credentials should be submitted as early as possible to allow sufficient
time to process your application, get your visa, and arrange for transportation. Only completed applications will
be reviewed for consideration. Please submit the above to:
