Admission to graduate programs is highly competitive; for best consideration, therefore, you should submit accurate and complete credentials by the specified deadline. The minimum academic standard for full admission to the Graduate School is a B average or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in a program resulting in the award of a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited college or university, or an equivalent degree from a comparable foreign institution. Standards for admission to a Ph.D. program are generally higher than those for admission to a M.S. program. You must also document successful completion of undergraduate prerequisites for graduate study in the chosen field. You must meet the minimum requirements set by the Graduate School and departmental requirements, which may exceed the minimum.
The Graduate School normally requires Graduate Record Examinations scores for admission to graduate programs and uses GRE scores as part of the data on which it bases its admission decisions. The scores, however, are never the sole criteria for admission. Some programs may recommend or require other standardized tests. Applicants whose native language or language of the home is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language or the examination of the International English Language Testing System. The Graduate School requires official transcripts for all prior undergraduate and graduate study and three letters of recommendation. Some programs require additional evidence of ability to succeed. Such evidence may include an interview, documentation of prior work experience, GRE subject test, or other supplementary materials. It is important that you contact the office of the program to which you are applying about additional admission requirements. Failure to do so may result in your application not being considered. You are encouraged to review the program descriptions for complete requirements. top |
