Fall Term 2024 Application Now Open
How to Apply to our Graduate Programs
Spring Term 2024, Summer Term 2024, and Fall Term 2024 applications are open.
Admissions Criteria
Each Advanced Academic Program has a baseline set of criteria necessary before your application can be considered, such as a bachelor’s degree and a minimum GPA. Additionally, some master’s degree programs have identified program-specific prerequisite courses which cover critical knowledge you will need to be successful in the program. Please review your program’s Admissions Criteria before you begin your application.
Application Overview
You will apply to your master’s degree program via an online application. Your application will require certain supporting materials to be submitted, such as a résumé, a statement of purpose, and your official transcripts. Often times recommendations and other supporting materials, such as a writing sample, may be required. You may directly access your program’s specific list of Required Supporting Materials below. Please submit all application materials, and the $75 application fee, either via the online application form or directly to our office.
Once your application and all materials are received, please allow two weeks for processing. An incomplete application (including the application fee) is valid for one year from the date the application was initiated.
