International Application
Application Process for International Students
We are excited that you are ready to apply, and our admissions team will do all we can to help you through this process. Follow the three easy steps below to apply to MBA.
By creating an account, you will be able to work on your application throughout the admission season, save your work as you go, verify your application status, track which application materials the Admissions Office has received and submit the application online.
Step 1: Application
To begin the application process, please set up an account and complete an online application.
Note: A Skype interview will be scheduled after the application is submitted. A link will be sent to your email for you to select a date a time to schedule the interview.
Step 2: Documentation
The following supplemental documentation can be uploaded in the online application:
High School Transcript or current grade report if in 8th grade.
Copy of your passport.
Current English, Math, and Principal (Pastor or Counselor) recommender names and emails.
International students must provide three recommendations.
MBA will assume the role as US Coordinating Guardian for international students during the academic year (fees may apply). In addition to MBA guardianship, students are requested to have a family guardian for emergencies, discipline, and homestay needs (guardians can be a relative or family friend older than 25 living in the U.S., preferably in California). The name, address and phone number of the USA guardian/relative/friend must be included on the application. The family guardian must be cleared by MBA’s administration before the student is accepted. If a family guardian is not available or does not meet the criteria, MBA will assume full guardianship roles.
International students are required to upload English proficiency test scores. As we offer a full ESL program, the following exams, and minimum scores reflect our requirements for admittance into the program:
9th Grade
TOEFL iBT = 32
iTEP Slate = 3.0
Duolingo = 65
