Eli Broad College of Business: Acceptance Rate, Fees & Courses

Students applying to the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University must follow a structured application process that applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

For undergraduate admissions, students must first apply to Michigan State University through the Common App or MSU’s application portal. Once admitted to the university, students typically begin in the pre-business program and then apply to the Broad College during their sophomore year. The process includes submission of academic transcripts, a personal statement, SAT/ACT scores (optional), and proof of English proficiency.

For postgraduate programs, including Master’s and MBA programs, applications are submitted directly through the Broad College’s website. Requirements usually include academic transcripts, a CV/resume, a personal statement or essays, letters of recommendation, and, for some programs, GMAT/GRE scores and work experience. Certain programs may also require an interview.

Visa Requirements:
International students must secure a U.S. Student Visa (F-1) before beginning their studies. This requires receiving an official offer of admission, submitting a financial statement showing proof of funding, and demonstrating English language proficiency through TOEFL, IELTS, or equivalent tests.

Scholarships:
The Broad College offers various merit-based and need-based scholarships for international students, including:

• MSU International Tuition Grant (for high-achieving undergraduate international applicants)

• Broad MBA Scholarships (full and partial funding based on academic merit, leadership, and diversity)

• Specialty Master’s Program Scholarships (program-specific scholarships for graduate degrees like MSBA, MSF, MSHRM)

Language Proficiency: Non-native English speakers must provide valid proof of English proficiency unless they have studied in an English-speaking institution. Accepted tests include TOEFL, IELTS, and Duolingo English Test, meeting the university’s minimum score requirements.
