Entry requirements

GRE or GMAT scores are required for the MS in Family Resource Management; not required for Hospitality Management or Fashion and Retail Studies (thesis-track applicants may be required to submit). Where required, the 60th percentile on verbal and quantitative is recommended for support, not an absolute requirement. Deadlines: Autumn 2027 Jul 27, 2027; Spring 2027 Dec 21, 2026. Applicants select a specialization. International applicants need TOEFL iBT 79 (4.0 on the TOEFL scale launched January 2026), IELTS Academic 6.5 or Duolingo 120 (Graduate School minimum for this programme).

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
