Graduate Application Materials

Submit your transcripts

Number 1

Transcript

Unofficial transcripts are required for application. Official transcripts will be required upon admission. A minimum GPA of 3.0 in your last 60 credits of your undergraduate program is required for full admission.

Reference Number 2
Recommendations

The online application within CollegeNET will prompt you to provide names and contact information for three references who can speak to your potential success in a graduate program. Once your application is submitted, they will be prompted to complete a recommendation on your behalf both in CollegeNET and a department Qualtrics form (in lieu of a letter). A strong recommender is someone who has a graduate degree and can speak to your potential in a graduate program.

Personal essay Number 3
Applicant Supplemental Information Form

Graduate faculty meet routinely throughout the academic year to holistically consider applications. To assist us in doing this, we require that applicants complete this form (also linked below and sent by email once online application is started) which captures this information in addition to the online graduate application.
