Admission Requirements


1. Receipt of an earned baccalaureate degree from a fully accredited academic college or university. Baccalaureate degrees earned outside of the United States must be equivalent to baccalaureate degrees earned in the United States. International applicants and Permanent Residents of the United States who received their undergraduate (and graduate) degrees outside of the United States must submit official transcripts and diplomas for evaluation to be considered for Non-Degree graduate admission.

2. The University requires all non-native English speakers to demonstrate proof of English-language proficiency. Any individual who has earned a bachelor’s (or higher) degree from a U.S. institution, in which the primary language of instruction is English, is not required to take an English- language proficiency examination. English-language proficiency test options and score requirements appear in the International Students section of this Catalog.

3. Submit a completed application form to the Graduate Admissions Office. Applicants are strongly advised to submit an online application to facilitate processing their requests for Non-Degree admission. Applicants submitting paper application forms must allow additional processing time for their requests.

4. Non-degree applicants are not required to pay an application fee. However, if the Non-Degree student later requests admission to a graduate degree, certificate, or licensure program a $30 Graduate application fee is required. The student must submit an updated application for the degree, certificate, or licensure program and all required admission materials to the Graduate Admissions Office before an admission decision will be rendered.
