									Degree program
			 requirements
Applicants to graduate degree programs
				at the university must possess a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited
				college or university and present evidence of broad and thorough undergraduate
				preparation that indicates probable success in graduate study. Applicants
				should consult the admissions categories and gpa policy for graduate college
				information concerning grade point average minimums for regular and conditional
				admission. Academic programs may have higher admission criteria and standards
				upon which admissions decisions are made, and/or may require materials in
				addition to those listed below such as standardized test scores, writing
				samples, personal statements, letters of recommendation, a resume/curriculum
				vitae and/or other indicators of preparation. Prospective students should check
				with the academic programs to which they intend to apply for specific
				criteria.
An applicant to a degree program will
				be evaluated for admission when the following materials are submitted via
				online application portal:
(a)
										The application for admission;
(b)
										A non-refundable
			 application fee for each application submitted;
(c)
										Standardized
			 university-approved tests of English as a foreign language (e.g., "Test of
			 English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Pearson English Language Test (PTE),
			 International English Language Testing System (IELTS)") for all whose first
			 language is not English (see graduate admissions-ESL requirements
			 policy);
(d)
										A copy of an unofficial transcript from each
			 institution attended uploaded at the time of application. Applicants must
			 include all institutions attended regardless of the number or type of credits
			 taken, terms attended, or whether transfer credits are reflected on another
			 transcript. Bowling Green state university transcripts do not need to be
			 submitted;
(e)
										Upon admission, an official transcript forwarded
			 directly to graduate admissions from every institution where a degree was
			 earned. If the degree has not yet been conferred, final official transcripts
			 (showing the date and degree earned) are required to be submitted to graduate
			 admissions as a condition of admission. Personal copies of transcripts are not
			 acceptable. Transcripts "issued to student" are acceptable only if in a sealed
			 envelope with the registrar's stamp.
Official final credentials must be
				submitted to graduate admissions prior to the start of the admit term. Students
				who fail to supply the required documents will have a registration hold placed
				on their accounts for any subsequent term of enrollment until they are
				received; and
(f)
										Additional materials as required by the graduate
			 program.
