ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ

There are two sets of requirements: University admission requirements and the program specific requirements of each ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ graduate program.

University Admission Requirements

1. All applicants are required to use our online system to create an account and submit an application. The application opens approximately one year in advance and is only good for the term and program in which it is submitted. Applicants who have submitted their application and wish to change their admission term or major/concentration may submit a new application and associated application fee. 
2. A $30 (USD) application fee is required regardless of previous enrollment. The application fee is non-refundable and cannot be waived. Undergraduate application fees cannot be used for a graduate application, and vise versa. The application fee must be submitted prior to the review of an application.
3. All applicants must provide transcripts from a U.S. institution accredited by an accepted institutional accreditor or its equivalent from a non-US institution that awarded the bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, if applicable, and transcripts from institutions where any post-baccalaureate and/or graduate credits were earned. All international transcripts will require a course-by-course evaluation by an approved third-party credential evaluation agency unless a graduate program has established an alternative credential evaluation procedure that is approved by the graduate school.
4. All applicants, except those from countries where English is the only official language, are required to show proof of satisfactory evidence that the applicant's competency in English is adequate. Applicants whose native language is not English must meet English Language Proficiency requirements.

ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ Program Specific Admission Requirements

Students may also be required to meet specific or more stringent requirements of the program to which they are seeking admission. Such requirements may include, but are not limited to:

• Standardized test scores
• Supplemental documents (i.e. letters of recommendation, resume, personal statement)
• Licensing

Please visit the the Graduate School website for a list of offered programs and their specific requirements. Students should be aware that admission into any graduate program is granted on a competitive basis. Students meeting minimum requirements may be denied admission based on such factors as program capacity or academic discretion. Likewise, students may be considered for admission as an exception if stated admissions criteria are not met.

Please note that the time frame in which a decision is made is dependent on the reviewing process of the program director or the departmental committee (if applicable).
