Application Requirements

Applicants must hold a baccalaureate or graduate degree from an accredited institution and intend to participate in courses leading to a graduate certificate. In evaluating applications, the Admissions Committee takes into consideration the applicant’s grades and rank in his or her undergraduate degree. Additionally, the committee will review optional supporting documents such as letters of recommendation, statement of interest, and professional and personal accomplishments.
