HYP Global and Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business Launch Official Pre-Master Boot Camp (PMBC) Partnership

HYP Global and Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business Launch Official Pre-Master Boot Camp (PMBC) Partnership

In October 2023, HYP Global formalized an official Pre-Master Boot Camp (PMBC) partnership with Santa Clara University's (SCU) Leavey School of Business. SCU becomes the third U.S. university to officially recognize and adopt HYP Global's PMBC pathway program.

The partnership targets SCU's MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) and MS in Information Systems (MSIS) programs. Students in their final undergraduate year can complete a 10-week online PMBC program in their spare time and — upon passing the assessment and completing the formal online application — receive an official Full Offer of admission to SCU's graduate programs, along with exclusive tuition reductions and an SCU application fee waiver.

SCU comprises six schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and Counseling Psychology, Leavey School of Business, School of Engineering, School of Theology, and School of Law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the SCU PMBC program designed for?

PMBC is ideal for students who: are targeting SCU's MSIS or MSBA programs; hold an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or above; meet the language requirement (TOEFL 100+ / IELTS 7.0+ / Duolingo 120+); and want to secure a Silicon Valley graduate school offer while still in their final undergraduate year. Students from non-technical backgrounds (Business, Economics, Finance) can also use PMBC's Python coursework to meet MSIS prerequisites.

Is a formal SCU application still required after completing PMBC?

Yes. After successfully completing PMBC and meeting the academic standard, students are still required to submit a formal application through SCU's official online application system. Based on PMBC completion and performance, SCU will issue a Full Offer of admission — with no GMAT or GRE score required. HYP Global will assist you with the formal application process and required documents.
