The path to earning a graduate degree in the U.S. can be a daunting process for international students. From navigating admission requirements to managing multiple applications, the process often feels overwhelming. Recognizing these challenges, HMS (Howell Management Services) has taken significant steps to create a streamlined, student-friendly approach to university applications.
A Unified Application Process for All Partner Universities
At HMS, simplicity is the guiding principle. With a standardized application process, students applying to our partner universities can do so with minimal effort. Our application process allows prospective students to seamlessly submit their supporting documents, track their progress, and receive support every step of the way.
No Application Fees — A Rare Advantage
Unlike most university application processes, HMS does not charge an application fee. This policy ensures that financial barriers do not stand in the way of students pursuing their education. Students can submit their applications to any HMS partner university without worrying about costly fees.
Simple and Straightforward Admission Requirements
HMS’s partner universities are committed to accessible education. None of the universities in the HMS network require students to submit GRE or GMAT scores. This is a significant benefit, especially for international students who may face challenges accessing testing centers or managing exam costs.
Here’s a closer look at the streamlined application requirements for each partner university:
Ottawa University: Offers Executive EMBA, MSCS, MSN - Nurse Leadership, and DBA programs. Students with prior U.S. academic or professional experience may have key requirements waived, such as proof of English proficiency and a statement of purpose. View Ottawa University’s MSN Admissions, EMBA Admissions, MSCS Admissions, or DBA Admissions for more details.
Humphreys University: Accepts 3-year bachelor's degrees, a notable advantage for students from countries where undergraduate programs follow a 3-year model. Like other HMS partner schools, Humphreys does not require the GMAT or GRE, and many admission requirements are waived for students with U.S. education or work experience. View Humphreys University's MBA Admissions for more details.
National Louis University: Offers a range of graduate programs with a focus on analytics, leadership, and organizational development. The simplified application process allows students to move through admissions quickly and efficiently. Proof of English proficiency is waived for students who have studied or worked in the USA.

Texas Wesleyan University: The Applied MBA program is designed for career-focused professionals. With no GRE/GMAT requirements and minimal supporting documents, this is a simple application for all international students. View Texas Wesleyan University's MBA Admissions for more details.
Harrisburg University: Like Humphreys, Harrisburg University accepts 3-year bachelor’s degrees. The MS programs offered are particularly appealing to students from regions with 3-year undergraduate degrees and who are focused on STEM-designated degrees. As with other partner universities, students benefit from waived requirements if they have prior U.S. education or work experience. View Harrisburg University's MS Admissions for more details.
Waived Requirements for Students with U.S. Experience
Another key feature of HMS’s application process is the flexibility provided to students who have studied or worked in the U.S. Admission requirements such as proof of English proficiency, goal statements, or letters of recommendation are often waived for these students. This policy reflects the understanding that students with U.S.-based education or work experience have already demonstrated their ability to succeed in an American academic environment.
