However, our criteria include an undergraduate GPA of minimally 3.0 from an accredited college or university.

Applicants must complete/submit:

  1. Online graduate application for admission.
  2. A statement of interests covering relevant experience and aspirations. This letter is absolutely critical to your successful application, as it helps us assess where you might find common interests among Department faculty.
  3. Official transcripts.
  4. Three letters of reference addressing the candidate's readiness for graduate school, academic abilities, and potential for success.  One letter may be from an employer.

Applicants may choose to submit a writing sample.
