FLEX MBA and Online MBA applicants need at least three years of full-time post-baccalaureate work experience; the 11-month full-time format accepts business majors only; JD/MBA applicants must also apply to the Paul M. Hebert Law Center. LSU Graduate School minimum requirements (apply to all graduate programmes): a conferred bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution; minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in the previous undergraduate degree or its last 60 credit hours (and 3.0 in any graduate coursework attempted); transcripts; curriculum vitae or resume. International applicants whose native language is not English or who were educated in a country where English is not the only official language must show English proficiency: TOEFL iBT 79, IELTS 6.5, PTE 59, Duolingo English Test 110 or Michigan English Test 53; applicants with a US bachelor's degree or from listed English-speaking countries (including Ghana and Nigeria) are exempt. International applicants submit degree certificates and a NACES credential evaluation where degrees are not a US equivalent.
