Probationary Admission
Applicants accepted by the Admissions Committee on a probationary basis must complete their first semester with a minimum grade in accordance with our academic criteria in every course, without any repeats, and with a minimum GPA that meets our academic standards. Otherwise, they will be dismissed.
Foundation Courses
Applicants who possess non-bachelor degrees in Business Administration may be required to complete a specified number of foundation courses with a maximum of 15 credits. The foundation courses are designed to provide applicants who come from non-business academic backgrounds with essential knowledge in the field of business studies. It is worth noting that the grades acquired in these foundation courses will not be factored into the calculation of the GPA.
Transfer Credits
A maximum of 12 credits may be considered for transfer from another institution of higher education that possesses academic standing equivalent to that of PU.
