Applicants who received their undergraduate degree more than five years prior to completing the application may substitute other appropriate recommendations. Certain programs do not require a standardized test. Specific test requirements are stated in program brochures and in the Graduate Catalog. Upon admission to a degree program you will be assigned an advisor who is a faculty member from the department sponsoring your graduate program. No application will be accepted unless all required material has been submitted.
Most students can begin a program in a fall, spring, or summer semester.
At least one month should be allowed for processing the application. Students admitted after that date may still begin their studies if fall seats are available in required undergraduate prerequisite courses. Because certain prerequisite courses must be completed before graduate core and elective courses, students admitted after February 1 may have to postpone their attendance until the following semester.
