CIP Code

51.2706

Admissions Requirements:

  • Applicants must have, or be in the process of completing a bachelor’s degree.
  • The application to apply is available online.
  • Admission is granted for the fall semester only.

To be considered for review by the Admissions Committee, a complete application will include the following:

  • One finalized and submitted online application
  • Unofficial transcripts (Note: official transcripts will be required if offered admissions to the Program).
  • Three letters of recommendation.
  • GRE/GMAT scores are optional

The Admissions Committee will consider the following factors in conducting an individualized, holistic review of applications for admission:

  • Letters of recommendation
  • Research experience
  • Professional experience
  • Grade point average
  • Undergraduate curriculum breadth and rigor
  • Personal statement and motivation
  • Personal integrity
  • English language competency

Applicants should take note that letters of recommendation and professional and/or research experience(s) should include not only who, what, when, and where, but also how well applicant(s) understand the work or research itself beyond just the techniques that applicant(s) carry out, and ultimately, how applicant(s) communicate these elements in the personal statement.
