Students must complete an application to the university and have official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended submitted to the Office of Admission. Full admission to graduate studies may be granted to students who have earned a baccalaureate degree with a minimum undergraduate grade-point average of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale from any institution of higher education regionally accredited by the North Central Association or any of the seven regional accrediting organizations and who have met all specific program requirements and prerequisites.

Select programs may require higher grade point averages and grant conditional admission to select applicants. Conditional admission requires completion of eight semester hours (no prerequisites) with a GPA of at least 3.0. Visit our Graduate Education site for more information.
