While no strict rules exist for the decision to admit a student, there are guidelines for what constitutes acceptable GRE scores and grade point averages. These numbers are generally considered minimum requirements, but do not guarantee admission if met nor denial of admission if not met. If they are not met, however, it is unlikely that admission will be granted without special considerations. This is not an automatic waiver, and the request will be reviewed at the time of admission. An application will not be processed until the application fee has been paid.
Financial aid is in the form of fellowships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships.
May 1 is the date that all of the required application materials must be received by both the Graduate School and our office for you to be considered for admission for the following Fall term. Although applications are accepted up to these dates, the majority of admissions for Fall term are made to applicants who apply by January 15, and available Fall term positions may be filled before the May deadline. Please feel free to browse our graduate brochure , which is in PDF format. You will need the Adobe Reader to view it though.
