Requirements to Apply

To qualify for Crandall's Master of Management, you need a completed bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B, on a 4.3 scale), in nearly any discipline. No business background is required. The exact equivalent standing varies by country — see the table below.

Crandall publishes a country-by-country graduate admissions table. A selection of common source countries is below; the university states that requirements are assessed on an individual basis and that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission.

Country Required Academic Standing
Nigeria Second Class Honours, Upper Division. A Diploma or HND is not accepted.
Ghana Second Class, Upper Division (3 out of 4, or B)
Kenya Second Class Honours, Upper Division (bachelor's degree requiring 4 years of study)
India 60% or above, First Class
Pakistan 60%, Very Good
Bangladesh 60%, or 3 out of 4
Sri Lanka Second Class Upper Division
United Kingdom Second Class, Upper Division (60%)

 Note: This is a selection of common source countries, not the full list. Crandall publishes the complete graduate admissions requirements by country on its own site — check your specific country there, or with your ApplyBoard counsellor, since requirements are assessed individually and can change.

Academic Requirements

  • A completed bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B, on a 4.3 scale). The exact required standing varies by country — see the table below.
  • Official transcripts from every post-secondary institution attended.

English Language Proficiency

Crandall delivers the Master of Management entirely in English, so all applicants must submit an approved English test result unless exempt. Accepted tests and minimum scores are below.

Test Minimum Score
IELTS Academic Overall 6.5, no band below 6.0
TOEFL iBT Overall 90, minimum 21 in each area
TOEFL CBT / PBT 236 (CBT) or 580 (PBT), minimum TWE 4.5
Duolingo English Test Overall 115, minimum 95 in each area
CAEL Overall band 70, minimum 60 in each area
CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) Overall 9, minimum 8 in each area
CEFR (Common European Framework) C1

 Note: The English test you submit for admission (like IELTS Academic, above) is a separate requirement from the language test IRCC requires for the Post-Graduation Work Permit after you finish. PGWP applications require a CLB or NCLC of 7 in all four abilities, generally through IELTS General Training or CELPIP-General, not IELTS Academic. Meeting Crandall's admission requirement does not automatically satisfy the PGWP language requirement.

Crandall University's Master of Management costs $36,150 CAD in total tuition, plus a $100 CAD non-refundable application fee and an $2,500 CAD tuition deposit. The one-year Master of Organizational Management costs $26,880 CAD in total tuition.
