Admission of New Freshmen:
The Admissions Committee for the undergraduate programs of La Sierra University examines evidence of scholastic competence, moral and ethical standards, and significant qualities of character and personality of each applicant. Three factors are used in determining academic eligibility for admission. An applicant will academically qualify for regular admission as a first-time freshman if the applicant is a high school graduate, has a qualifiable eligibility index [calculated from grade point average for the specific high school courses and ACT or SAT score results] and has completed, with grades of “C” or better, the required subject requirements.

Admission of Off-Campus Professional MBA Students:
Our MBA program offers a great opportunity to get to know a diverse array of students and become part of the transforming culture of a graduate program. But many busy students with full-time jobs or family responsibilities need other options. That's why our Professional MBA program gives you the chance to earn an MBA without leaving your workplace.
The PMBA program works just like our on-campus program. PMBA students complete the same required classes as on-campus students - classes taught by doctorally qualified faculty members, many of them the same teachers who deliver our on-campus classes. Students in our PMBA program have access to the same resources as our on-campus students.
Flexibility is a hallmark of La Sierra's business programs - both on and off campus. While core MBA requirements are identical in both programs, a group of students earning an MBA at a particular workplace can opt for a set of customized electives designed to meet their distinctive needs and interests.
The PMBA program offers exceptional personal and professional growth opportunities to working people throughout southern California. It also makes it easier for area employers to invest strategically in their employees and their own futures.
