Full Admission
An applicant whose credentials include all the requirements and prerequisite course work to begin a graduate program may be granted full admission status.
Provisional Admission
An applicant whose credentials do not meet the requirements for full admission may be considered for provisional admission if the applicant demonstrates strong potential to complete a graduate degree. The following shall guide the provisional status:
An initial program of courses designed to establish the candidate's potential for graduate study developed by the School Dean or Program Coordinator/Director. This program may include prerequisite course work that does not count toward the actual degree program for which the applicant has applied.
See the admission requirements for each individual program for the specific academic and professional criteria that may result in provisional admission status.
Preliminary Admission
An applicant who is in the final semester of an accredited master's program and within 6 credit hours of completion may be considered for preliminary admission status. Full admission is contingent on receipt of a final official transcript confirming degree conferral, to be submitted to the Office of Admissions by the end of the student's first semester of enrollment.
See the admission requirements for each individual program for full details.
