International Admissions

All applicants to Sullivan University’s graduate programs must be either in their final two quarters of classes in a Bachelor’s degree program at Sullivan University or have an earned Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. Candidates for admission to the graduate school must demonstrate proficiency in verbal, written, quantitative and critical reasoning skills. This can be accomplished by the candidate submitting GMAT or GRE scores, by a review of transcripts of previous undergraduate and any prior graduate courses, or through application of criteria established by the University’s graduate school admissions committee. Applicants for admission to the Sullivan University Graduate’s School should contact the Graduate School admissions staff for additional information. Students who otherwise qualify for graduate admission may be accepted on a provisional basis. Course work for all graduate degrees consists of twelve courses (48 credit hours) (dual Master of Business Administration/Master of Science in Managing Information Technology and the Master of Science in Management and Collaborative Solutions are 64 credit hours), of which no more than 25% may be transferred from another accredited college or university. The Dean of the Graduate School must approve all transferred credits

Steps in Applying For the Co-op Program

STEP 1:   SEND IN APPLICATION MATERIALS

If you are already a student in the U.S. and are wishing to transfer to the Sullivan "co-op" program, you can apply directly by contacting an agent in your city . If you are living abroad and need to apply for a visa from the U.S. consulate in your home country, you will need to contact an office in your country or an authorized consulting agency or placement agency there. There will be a substantial fee charged by the consulting or placement agency to handle your application material, assist you with complying with U.S. government Immigration Service regulations, training you in preparation for the visa interview with the U.S. consulate, and in the scheduling of the dates for enrollment in the program and for the visa interview. Please contact us to find out the name and contact numbers of the consulting agent or placement agent in your area. Visit the Apply for Program page where you will find a list of the required documents that you will need to send to us.  After we receive your package you will be notified within several weeks whether or not you have been accepted into the program. Please note that we are responsible for all preparatory details, pre-screening and visa advising, but the University makes all decisions regarding admissions and issuing of the I-20.  

STEP 2:  PAY TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THE SEVIS FEE. 

Once you receive the I-20 you will need to pay to the U.S. Government the $200 SEVIS fee before you will be allowed by the U.S. consulate to apply for your visa.  Go to  www.fmjfee.com for more information.

STEP 3:   PREPARE FOR VISA INTERVIEW & APPLY FOR VISA.  When your I-20 form is ready to be sent out, we will send you extensive information on ideas and tips you can use to help you prepare for your interview with the U.S. visa office.  Because we have immigration lawyers on our staff, we can answer most of the questions you may have regarding U.S. Immigration law and procedures.
