Your professional resume or CV provides the admissions team with a clear picture of the experience and skills that contribute to your qualification to attend Presidio. We welcome you to include details on both work and volunteer experience.

We require an official transcript sent directly from the accredited college/university that granted your degree(s) via mail or electronic download verifying you have completed at least an undergraduate degree(s). Transcripts must also include Grade Point Average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale for each course and overall program cumulative GPA (cGPA). If your cGPA is below 2.75, or if your school did not provide a GPA, you will be required to provide a GPA explanation as part of your application.

Additional official or unofficial transcripts and certification documentation can also be included in your application and/or sent to registrar@presidio.edu in support of your application.

If your bachelor’s degree was conferred from an institution outside of the United States, you must have the transcript(s) evaluated by a foreign education credential evaluation service agency such as NACES®. If the transcripts are not in English, an official translation must also be submitted. The evaluation must be sent to Presidio via email or mail and contain the following:

• Degree equivalency to a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. university
• U.S. semester credit and grade equivalent for each course and cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale.

GRE and GMAT scores are not required for admissions to Presidio. However, if you feel that your scores serve to enhance your application, we welcome you to submit your results through the application portal.

Admission interviews will last approximately 30 minutes and are conducted in a conversational format during which you will be welcomed to ask questions.
