Business Essentials

Saint Louis University's business essentials certificate provides students with a broad overview of the critical issues and decision areas across what would be considered core business areas.

This certificate prepares those wishing to advance within – or into – a business career by providing an encompassing survey of the following foundational business disciplines:

• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance
• Management
• Marketing

This approach allows those without a business background to obtain a common breadth of knowledge and learning experience.

Send transcripts of all secondary work.

Find out from your admission counselor what secondary credentials are required. We’ll evaluate how you’ve done in school up to this point, so please send all transcripts for secondary work, along with their English language translations.

Submit proof of your English language proficiency.

These are scores from any standardized test you may have taken to prepare for college — TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, SAT, ACT or Duolingo score. All of our international applicants are required to demonstrate their English proficiency, and these tests can help us make that determination.

If you do not meet SLU’s direct entry requirements, we encourage you to apply to the Pathway or English Language programs offered by INTO Saint Louis University.

Recommended items.

Though not required for admission, submission of a resume of activities and letters of recommendation is encouraged. All undergraduate applicants are also encouraged to complete an admission interview.
