Graduate Admissions

General Admissions Requirements:

• Official Transcripts: One set of official transcripts from every college and university from which a Bachelors or higher degree was earned. If additional transcripts are required, the Graduate College will notify you.
• Prepare required support materials: Take required tests and have the official scores sent directly to Graduate Admissions. Test scores must be received directly from the agency administering the test. Photocopies are not acceptable.
• Equivalent to a "B" average (in the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of undergraduate coursework). If you do not meet the minimum GPA requirements, your application may still be considered although the degree program office may require additional supporting documents.

Additional Requirements for International Students

Official Academic Credentials

All international records must be submitted in the original language accompanied by an official English translation. Translations must be literal, complete versions of original records, and the documents must be translated by a university, a government official, or an official translation service. You cannot do your own translation.

All academic credentials and test scores must be official. The Graduate College accepts the following documents as official:

• Original academic credentials issued by the registrar of the institution attended, bearing the original raised or colored seal of the institution and the signature of your institution's registrar, academic official, or recognized international organization.
• Photocopies of international academic credentials that have been verified as true copies of the original by a responsible official of the institution attended or by an educational representative of the country's government or embassy. Each page must bear the verifying official's signature and stamp.
• Photocopies of academic credentials that have been certified by a recognized international education organization-such as the U.S. Educational Foundation, AMIDEAST, or the Institute for International Education.

English Proficiency

• The minimum TOEFL requirement is 550 (PBT) or 80 (iBT).
• The minimum IELTS is an overall band score of 6.5 with no individual band below a 6.0.
