Is a bachelor's degree required for admission?
Yes. Anaheim University requires applicants for the International MBA, Diploma or Certificate; Sustainable Management MBA, Diploma or Certificate; or the Master of Entrepreneurship to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution recognized by the US Department of Education and/or CHEA, or by the government of the country in which the degree was awarded.
Can students with an undergraduate degree from a foreign university, such as a Japanese university, enter?
Yes. Anaheim University accepts bachelor's degrees from any country as long as the degree is recognized by the government or education ministry of the country in which it was conferred.
What does it mean to be a matriculated student?
Matriculated students are those who have been officially enrolled in the degree program and are considered degree-seekers by the University, having completed at least two courses with a grade of B or better. Students who are simply attending a single course are not considered to be matriculated students.

Can students who have taken courses at other universities transfer their credit?
Anaheim University will accept up to two graduate semester classes or 6 units awarded by another institution toward an International MBA, Diploma or Certificate; Sustainable Management MBA, Diploma or Certificate; or Master of Entrepreneurship at Anaheim University. The entering student will be required to clearly demonstrate the equivalency of a transfer course through relevant documents (syllabus, catalog, course outline) and justify its acceptance through petition. No course will be considered for transfer with a grade lower than a “B” or its equivalent. Petitions are directed to the specific Dean for the affected program. There is a fee of $125 per unit of credit transferred, and the overall program cost will be adjusted to reflect credit for the approved class(es). All petitions for transfer credit must be submitted as part of the student’s initial application to the University. Credits awarded as part of another degree will not be accepted for transfer
Is the GMAT or GRE required for admission?
No. Neither the GMAT nor the GRE are required for admission into Anaheim University's programs.
Does AU award credit for professional or life experience?
No. Anaheim University does not award credit for professional or life experience.
Is an entrance examination required?
No. Other than the English proficiency requirements, AU does not require applicants to take an admission or entrance examination.
How soon after applying can students begin their studies?
A student's application must be reviewed by the Office of Admissions and approved by the Dean. The approval process can usually be completed within one week after receipt of all required application documents. Following approval and acceptance into the University, a new student can begin his/her studies at the beginning of the next term as long as space is available. New terms begin every six weeks. It is recommended that you submit your application at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the term, so that there is sufficient time for course materials and other related information to be sent to you.
Do students have to enroll in the entire degree program, or can they simply enroll in one course to see how they like it?
Students may enroll in only one course, or as many courses as they wish. There is no obligation to complete the entire degree program once you have started.
Do students need to have computer access prior to enrolling?
Yes. Every student must have access to the Internet and a computer with word processing software in order to study in Anaheim University's programs. This does not mean that the student must own a computer. In many cases, students participate in AU courses and use rental computers through local Internet cafes, etc.
Do you accept applications from students residing in all 50 states?
No. We currently do not accept students who reside in Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Minnesota and Oregon due to regulatory matters. For more information, please call our Admissions Director at 714-772-3330.
