My brother just graduated and he came out with third class. Dad has been thinking of sending him abroad for his masters (Lincoln university California to be precise). So I want to know what his chances are before we start the process, if they accept third class. And is there other schools that do aside Lincoln?
a person without a bachelor's degree can do a masters degree if you have enough relevant work experience.

yes you can do a masters degree with a 3rd class. but if it is a highly competitive course or university, you will probably be rejected. But you will ALWAYS find a university that will admit you so long as you can pay the fees. It also depends on the University where he obtained his 1st degree.

Go on the school website to read about the entry requirement. Alternatively, he can email the specific department to see if he can be considered. Also, some schools in the UK accept Nigeria 3rd class directly to masters. Dont allow anyone here discourage you, all the best!

You be better person!!!

We Nigerians like discouraging people. Bro apply we wish you the best. Education is far beyond grades and the whites knows better, we have seen testimonies of people here in NL who had bad grades here but came out very outstanding over there.

Most universities in USA accept 3rd class. If you do WES for your gpa evaluation you can stand out.
A 3rd class gpa from Nigeria using WES equivalent can weigh a CGPA from 2.3 to 3.0 on a scale of 4.0. And that is not bad to some universities

Let your brother do WES evaluation and see if his GP is above the 3.0 or 2.75 out of 4 most US universities require for a masters degree.

I saw the thread title and read through the responses, I was like 'Naija!!!'. Simple things we go complicate am and still use strong head carry argument go any direction. Small time we start blaming Buhari, Jonathan, Tinubu, Okorocha for everything, are they from the moon grin

It's possible but The exact GPA matters here. You would need to improve your overall application profile. It should be possible with a whole lot of work to do.

You can send me an email if you want more details.

It depends on the University, however, his best shot is a PGD! Please kindly take a look at my Signature for more Info. Thank you...
Re: Can A Third Class Graduate Apply For Masters In The USA by HELLASJ(m): 2:46pm On Mar 24, 2022
Sure!

There are numerous schools in the US offering Master program to 2:2 degree holders.

Some doesn't even require IELTS/GRE, if your undergraduate degree was taught in English.
