Applicants to graduate degree programs or post-baccalaureate professional programs are required to meet minimum university admission requirements. Individual programs may set additional criteria or more selective requirements. Consequently, meeting minimum university admission requirements does not guarantee admission to a particular program. Refer to the appropriate academic program section of this catalog or contact Graduate Studies or the college/program regarding additional admission re-quirements.
Minimum University Admission Requirements
- Have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a region- ally accredited institution.
- Present an official standardized admission test score. (Refer to the college/program description for approved standardized tests.)
- Meet at least one of the following criteria:
- The minimum university requirements for admission into a graduate program are an earned bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution and a 3.0 GPA (last 60 attempted semester hours of the baccalaureate degree) on a 4.0 scale or 1000 on the combined verbal-quantitative portions of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), or 400 on the MillerAnalogies Test (MAT), or 500 on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), or
- A graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution.
An applicant who is from a country where English is not the primary language must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based test) or 213 (computer-based test) or 79 (internet-based) unless otherwise specified by the program. (Refer to college/program description for requirements greater than the minimum.)
An applicant for graduate study must demonstrate the motivation, ability, and preparation to successfully pursue graduate study. The graduate program director and/or academic dean, through the graduate admission committee in each college, makes a determination of this capacity. Admission is based upon records of undergraduate achievement, prior graduate work, scores on required standardized tests, other supporting documentation including letters of recommendation, where required, and resource availability within individual programs.
