The first step to applying is filling out our online application form for Graduate Admissions.

Official Transcripts: graduate applicants must submit official transcripts from the bachelor degree-awarding institution(s), and any post-bachelor degree institution including any master’s degrees or credits. Transcripts not sent directly to the Admissions Office from the issuing institution must remain sealed to be considered official. Transcripts then become the property of the University and will not be returned or released to another party.

Additional Materials: depending on your program of interest, additional required materials may include a personal/goal statement, letters of recommendation, an academic writing sample, resume, art portfolio, or interview. Your enrollment advisor will inform you as to which additional materials are required for your program.

English proficiency may be met by achieving one of the following:

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 and above on the paper-based test or 79–80 on the Internet-based test. The TOEFL exam must have been taken within two years prior to submitting an application.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS): A score of 6 with no band lower than 5.5

International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP): A score of 3.9 on the iTEP Academic-Plus test
