8. Personal Learning Community

   BGU attributes much of its students’ educational success to what we call the “Personal Learning Community” (or PLC). Students create their PLC by identifying three to five individuals who contract with BGU to act as a support group for that student during the course of their studies. We have seen that students who utilize a PLC are much more successful and better able to achieve their goal of completing the program.

   Previously we waited until students took their first class to ask them to find this group, but often the student became too busy and never established a PLC. We are so committed to seeing every student identify and obtain contracts for their PLC, that we have changed the admissions process to include the requirement that a minimum of three PLC members must submit a contract before an applicant will be considered for acceptance as a BGU student.

   Please print PLC Contract and Evaluation and send it to three to five individuals who would be willing to support you during this time. They can be close friends, co-workers, pastors, spouse, children, etc. You will be asking them to read your homework and assist you in staying accountable to turn work in on time, etc.

9. TOEFL Score (international students only)

   All international applicants must submit a TOEFL score and only those applicants whose score is 80 or above will be considered for acceptance into BGU. Please use BGU's code number of 0709 for institution recipient. For on-line information about testing locations and practice tests go to www.ets.org/toefl.

10. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) -MBA Program only

    Students must obtain a minimum score of 450 on the GMAT exam. Exceptions to this requirement may be made at the Business School Dean’s discretion based on the student’s prior successful academic work, the student’s demonstrated competency in other settings, or in those places where the GMAT are not available to the student locally or on-line. The Dean is also authorized to place persons who have not taken the GMAT in a probationary status until they demonstrate competency in graduate-level work in the BGU MBA program or have taken the GMAT and received the required score.  For on-line information about testing locations and practice tests go to www.mba.com/mba/thegmat
