Graduate Requirements by Program

Applicants desiring admission to a master's degree program apply through the Graduate Admissions Office and must meet the graduate admissions criteria. To be considered for admission, an applicant must:

• Hold an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university or an equivalent degree from an accredited institution outside the United States. Documentation of degree equivalencies must be submitted by an agency authorized to do so.
  
  
• Submit official transcripts from all colleges/universities previously attended
  
  
• Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 (3.25 for MSN and 3.5 for DNP) and an undergraduate record that reflects ability to be successful in graduate studies. (Students with a GPA less than 3.00 will be considered on a case-by-case basis)
  
  
• Provide a personal statement that demonstrates solid writing skills and motivation for graduate studies. (See application form for further instruction)
  
  
• Submit two letters of recommendation, preferably from faculty and/or work supervisors, who can attest to an applicant’s ability to be successful in graduate studies. (See application form for further instruction)
  
  
• Complete any requirements from the specific area of study.

Final admission decisions rest with the program director. In all cases, admission requirements can be waived at the discretion of the program director.
