It is aimed at preparing graduates to take on transformative human resource leadership roles in global corporations and businesses. Note: Students who do not have a Bachelor’s in Business must demonstrate that they have completed two prerequisites (equivalent to College Algebra and Microeconomics) with a grade of C- or better. Students who have not provided a transcript proving completion of the prerequisites will be required to take them before starting their graduate-level coursework. Admissions Requirements Patten University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administering its admission policies and its educational policies and programs. Undergraduate In order to matriculate as a fully admitted degree-seeking undergraduate, an individual must: Verify or submit within 30 days of enrollment a high school transcript or equivalent (such as a GED) that is accepted by the University as valid. Complete twelve (12) college-level credits, either by completing courses at Patten University or by submitting transfer credits that are accepted by the University, or a combination of the two. Patten University will verify high school graduation or equivalent and transcript authenticity. A student who cannot produce a high school transcript or equivalent cannot matriculate as a degree-seeking student at Patten University. ACT or SAT scores are not required for admission. Written permission from a legal guardian is required for admission of persons who are under the age of 18. Graduate In order to matriculate as a fully admitted degree-seeking graduate student, an individual must possess a baccalaureate degree from an institution accredited by an accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Degree conferral will be verified by Patten University. All verification and required transcript submission for matriculation must be completed within 30 days of enrollment. GRE or GMAT scores are not required. Students entering the MBA program are expected to have completed undergraduate-level microeconomics and college algebra with a C- or higher before starting their degree program. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the proper paperwork is submitted to verify that he or she has completed the prerequisites before their term starts. If the prerequisites are not complete at term start, the student will be placed into them automatically and will be required to complete them before starting a degree program. Teaching Credentials (on-campus only) Students seeking admission to either the single- or multiple-subject teaching credential program must submit: Completed application Official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended Three (3) character references Documentation of recent TB test Personal statement CBEST scores.

Single Subject Credential candidates: completion of an acceptable baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution – minimum GPA of 2.5; passing score on the California required subject matter examination(s), or completion of a CTC designated major waiver program from a California institution with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Note: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) establishes five options that can be utilized to meet the state requirements for acceptance by all Teaching Credential Programs (ref: CTC, CIA 07-02). These options are detailed in the Patten University Division of Education Admissions Handbook, available from the Patten University Division of Education Office. International Students Patten University does not provide visa services to online students or vouch for student immigration status. Instruction at Patten University is provided in English, and the University does not provide English as second language services. Applicants for whom English is a second language must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®) and have their official TOEFL® score report sent to the Office of Registrar under separate cover. Applicants must receive a TOEFL score of 550 on the paper-based test or 65 on the Internet-based test (iBT), and the University must receive the score within 30 days of enrollment. Alternatively, an applicant may enroll in the University’s ENG101A Composition I course online as a non-degree student. The University will accept a grade of C or better as proof of English proficiency. Applicants with non-U.S. educational credentials must first obtain a foreign credential evaluation from any member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (www.naces.org), such as Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (ECE), or another independent U.S. evaluation service approved by the University, before submitting their transcripts. If a student chooses to submit her/his credentials to ECE, request forms and cost information are available at the ECE website (www.ece.org) or by contacting ECE at P.O.

To be accepted, transcripts must be official. Students must have them sent directly from the institution to Patten University under seal, where they must be confirmed by the Office of the Registrar as valid.
