Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): Applicants to the program must meet the requirements for admission to the University given in Admission and Registration; however, satisfying these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Each applicant’s credentials are scrutinized by members of the faculty of the program. No single criterion, such as grade point average or Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) score, is given undue weight in the decision process; every attempt is made to assess the special strengths that the applicant might bring to the program. The applicant must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university and may be required to complete up to 12 semester hours of upper-division coursework in the area of the proposed graduate major for admission.

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.

Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline.
