Diploma in International Hospitality Management

Admissions Requirements

AHA's online diploma program operates on a quarter system much like any other physical campus, and accepts students for admission 4 times a year. Please refer to the academic calendar for the exact starting dates. Students must submit applications and complete registration at least 30 days before their program start date.

Students applying less than 30 days from their start date may still be accepted, however, they risk not receiving their course textbooks in time for the beginning of their program. AHA does not discriminate in admissions based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, non-disqualifying handicap or age.

Application Requirements

  • A completed, signed original application and enrollment form.
  • USD 50.00 Application Fee.
  • Official secondary school, university or college transcripts with (a) an official English translation of the transcript and (b) a grading guide that gives equivalent U.S. grades. (For Diploma programs only.)
  • Proof of English competency. All programs are delivered in English. AHA will accept as proof a TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language) score of at least 61 iBT, 173 CBT, 500 PBT or equivalent. We will also accept an IELTS score of minimum 6.0. TOEFL or IELTS scores must have
    been achieved within the last 24 months. Sufficient documentation of a significant level of English instruction may also be considered. If you are a native speaker of English or have undertaken your education in English or an English speaking country, proof of English competency may not be required.

    NOTE: AHA reserves the right to determine students' English abilities at any time, by administration of an English Entrance Test. Should students fail this test, AHA shall recommend they take remedial English or an ESL course (English as a Second Language) either before starting their academic program or as part of their first term's coursework.
