Entry requirements

Graduate Studies requirements for all programmes: online application, unofficial transcripts (all college-level records for international applicants), and verification of English proficiency if the applicant's native language is not English. Programme-specific: The "Professional Studies in Dietetics" and "Hospitality Management" specializations have unique requirements--see Specialization section above for details. For all other specializations: Three recommendation letters Resume Personal Statement: This statement is one of the most critical parts of your application. This is your opportunity to tell us about your personal and professional goals, why you desire a graduate degree in this area, and anything else that provides the Graduate Committee with a glimpse of "who you are." Demonstrate that your goals have been well thought out and that you understand what you are getting into. If you have job and/or volunteer experience that is relevant to your academic pursuits, provide details. It is helpful to highlight your strengths, although you should also address any weaknesses (such as poor grades or low GRE scores) and describe how that will affect your success as a graduate student. If you believe extenuating circumstances have hindered your academic progress, describe them in enough detail to help the Graduate Committee judge your application. (1-2 pages) Faculty: Applicants must have a confirmed advisor before applying. Applicants must communicate with individual graduate faculty by providing compelling reasons why their application should be considered in addition to serving as their graduate research advisor. Deadlines: For financial consideration: February 15 for Fall
