Application

Application for graduate study should be made directly through the Dean of the Graduate School, as described elsewhere in this Bulletin. A complete application consists of

  1. the application form (indicating the specific program to which application is being made)
  2. two letters of recommendation (at least one must be a professional reference)
  3. one set of official transcripts of all college-level work
  4. personal statement
  5. resume
  6. an official Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE) score report.

GMAT/GRE requirements may be waived based on professional work experience and academic accomplishments. International applicants are also required to demonstrate their English proficiency by submitting scores from a standardized English Language Proficiency Test. For example, the minimum combined TOEFL score of 100. Please consult the admissions website for minimum scores on other English Language Proficiency Tests.  Application deadlines are found elsewhere in this Bulletin. Action is taken as soon as possible after receipt by the Graduate School of a complete application.
