General Admission Requirements

The applicant must submit 1) an application for admission, 2) an official transcript providing evidence of an earned baccalaureate degree with a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.25*. 


*Applicants with a CGPA of less than 2.25 may be admitted to the institution at the discretion of the Dean of Academic Affairs or the designated academic representative via a documented personal interview.


Additional requirements will apply to specific academic programs.


The admissions officer shall examine any document to corroborate, in their best judgment, that it is original and has no visible alterations to comply with the requirements. If AGMU has reason to believe a student’s diploma or transcript is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary or postsecondary school education, it will complete additional steps to determine if the document is acceptable. These additional steps may include contacting the granting institution or confirming with a relevant department or state agency. AGMU reserves the right not to accept documents for the validity of which it cannot determine.
