The committee will review all applications and make recommendations to the full faculty. For an applicant to be accepted to the program following favorable departmental review, one member of the faculty will need to sponsor the applicant as the academic and research advisor. The Graduate School reviews the department’s recommendation and makes the final determination on acceptance. Applicants will be evaluated based on GPA (undergraduate and/or graduate), official or unofficial transcripts, statement of interest, and three letters of recommendation. International students whose native language is not English must also submit TOEFL or IELTS language proficiency examination scores.
