Program Admission Requirements

Applicants need to possess a minimum overall undergraduate or graduate level GPA of 3.0 OR meet or exceed minimum score requirement on the GRE: Verbal Reasoning 151 and Quantitative Reasoning 153.

Matriculation


The coordinator of the program to which the prospective candidate has been admitted serves as the initial advisor. Students who anticipate candidacy for a degree are strongly encouraged to take courses based on guidelines provided by their advisors.

Presentation of a Professional Portfolio is a required part of the oral examination.
