ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AT Ashesi University

Ashesi is committed to excellence and therefore we recruit the best and brightest students. As such our application process is highly competitive, with the average grade for admitted students not less than a B+.

We have a very comprehensive admissions process that includes a personal interview and review of each applicant’s profile by a selection committee. Though emphasis is placed on academic merit, the admissions committee also focuses on factors such as leadership potential, involvement in extracurricular activities, communication skills and writing proficiency.

Ashesi does not accept transfers into the 3rd or 4th year of our program. A transfer student who is admitted to Ashesi University will be placed in the 1st or 2nd year and will be eligible to take classes from the 3rd or 4th year, depending on the number of credits they are able to transfer into Ashesi’s curriculum from their previous university.
