Degree Students
Overview
Individuals with a baccalaureate degree from a college or university with full academic accreditation and who present satisfactory evidence of the ability to pursue graduate study can be considered for admission.
A baccalaureate degree earned outside the United States must be equivalent to a four-year United States degree.
International student applicants should consult the admission requirements section for “International Students” in the Graduate Catalog for information on application procedures.
Applicants may be considered for regular degree admission if
they meet one or more of the following conditions:
- The individual has a grade-point average for the
bachelor’s degree of at least 2.75 (A = 4.0), with a higher average in
the major field. Some graduate programs require a higher GPA. Consult
individual program admission requirements in the Graduate
Catalog.
- The applicant scores at the 50th percentile or above on
average across the areas of a standardized admission examination.
- The person has completed 12 or more graduate credit hours at Cleveland State University as a non-degree graduate student, and has a grade-point average of 3.00 or above. Please note that some programs require higher grade-point averages for admission (see program descriptions).
The institution from which the student received the bachelor’s degree determines a student’s undergraduate grade-point average. For those with post-baccalaureate studies, both undergraduate and graduate grade-point averages are considered in determining eligibility for admission.
Endorsement of the graduate program is necessary for admission to a graduate degree, certificate, or licensure program. The Office of Graduate Admissions finalizes acceptance of an applicant for admission after the recommendation for admission by the appropriate graduate committee.
