Claremont Graduate University (CGU) requires applicants to hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, with a competitive GPA typically above 3.0. Some programs may demand higher academic standards or prerequisite coursework.
Standardized test scores (GRE/GMAT) are optional for many programs but may strengthen applications. International students must prove English proficiency via TOEFL (80+ iBT) or IELTS (6.5+).
Applicants submit transcripts, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and a resume. Certain programs may require portfolios, interviews, or writing samples. Specific criteria vary by department, so reviewing program-specific requirements is essential.
