Admissions Criteria

Admission to the program is contingent upon an assessment of the candidate’s ability to successfully pursue graduate study.  This assessment will be made by examining previous academic performance, letters of recommendation, the applicant’s essay, work experience, and any other evidence that the admissions committee believes to be relevant.

A record of scholarly achievement at the undergraduate level.  Applicants are expected to have a 3.0 (based on a 4.0 scale) cumulative undergraduate grade point average, and a 3.0 in their major field of study.  An applicant whose grade point average is below 3.0 may submit an official copy of his/her GRE to support his or her application.
    
3. Two letters of recommendation from individuals who can comment on the applicant’s academic abilities and potential to succeed in an academically rigorous graduate program.  At least one of these letters must be from an instructor who has taught and evaluated the applicant in an academic setting.
