Admission Tracks

Students can enroll in our graduate programs through a Traditional Admission Track or a Career Admission Track, which is designed for applicants who have distinguished themselves in the workplace or community.

  • Traditional Admission Track

    The Traditional Admission Track is designed for applicants who have received their baccalaureate degree within the past six years, have limited professional work experience, or any applicant who prefers traditional admission procedures. Traditional admission procedures, including standardized test scores, are required for some of our graduate programs.

    Candidates for admission to the Graduate School as a degree-seeking student through the Traditional Admission Track must submit all additional documentation, including scores on requisite standardized entrance exams, as required by the specific graduate program.

  • Career Admission Track

    Career Admission Track is designed for applicants who have distinguished themselves in the workplace or community. Career applicants must demonstrate they are capable of graduate studies through documentation of professional work, letters of professional endorsement, and written expression.

    Candidates for admission to the Graduate School as a degree-seeking student through Career Admission Track must:

    • Possess an earned baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university in an appropriate discipline having met the GPA requirement for the program of study desired;
    • Request official copies for all college transcripts to be forwarded directly to the Division of Enrollment Management;
    • Submit a completed application form for the desired program along with the required non-refundable application fee;
    • Submit proof of eligibility to be considered for the Career Admission Track. Candidates must possess a combination of an undergraduate degree and a minimum of six years of professional work experience. To demonstrate exemplary work experience, the applicant should submit the following materials: Detailed resume that highlights specific career accomplishments; Letter of endorsement from an employer or professional within the chosen field which attests to the applicant’s qualifications for graduate level work; Writing sample clearly articulating goals and life experiences which have impacted the student’s decision to pursue this specific graduate degree. Any other documentation (e.g. work sample, portfolio, performance reviews, etc) that the candidate believes would strengthen the application. Be available for an interview upon request.
