The faculty takes several factor s into consideration when evaluating an application for admission, including GRE scores, grades, letters of recommendation, intent and motivation for graduate study, and research interests. A student with deficiencies in one area may be admitted if all other parts of his or her application are very strong.
Admission is competitive.
Last year students admitted to the program had an average combined verbal and quantitative GRE score of 1200 and an average undergraduate GPA of 3.30. A minimum score of 600 is recommended. Scores of 559 or less are not considered for admission. All applicants and continuing students are required to have strong written and oral communication skills. Students with deficiencies may be required to take remedial courses.
