Completed Bachelor’s Degree or Equivalent
In order to apply for a graduate program, a completed Bachelor’s degree is required. For some international students, programs might be willing to accept three year degrees. Check with the individual program you are applying for with any questions.
Official Transcripts from all post-secondary education
For any courses completed in post-secondary education, official transcripts will need to be sent. Contact any prior institution’s registrar office to inquire about how to send your official transcripts. Some graduate programs will accept unofficial transcripts for initial decisions.
GRE / GMAT
At ¬“¬◊ ”∆Ķ, graduate programs in the Love School of Business require GRE/GMAT scores. GRE/GMAT waivers may be available per request and depending on eligibility. Make sure you send your GRE/GMAT scores to ¬“¬◊ ”∆Ķ when you take the GRE/GMAT.
Our Physician’s Assistant program, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Master of Arts in Higher Education and Master of Education in Innovation do not require GRE/GMAT scores.
Letter(s) of Recommendation
Depending on your program, you will need to provide at least one professional letter of recommendation. This letter should not be from a relative or friend, rather should be from a current or former professor, supervisor or other professional source. Check with individual programs for requirements regarding the letters of recommendation.
Some programs might require a writing component in the form of short essays, personal statement and/or answers to writing prompts. The purpose of the writing component is for the admissions committee to get a better sense of who the applicant is outside of academics.
Some graduate programs will require an interview, or provide optional interviews. This helps the admissions committee get to know you as an academic on an even greater personal level.
If the program you are looking for requires an interview, the best way to prepare is to be yourself and practice questions ahead of time.
