Admission Criteria
Prospective graduate students need to recognize that admission to our graduate program is very selective. We accept a limited number of students each year. While the minimum admission requirement is a 3.0 GPA out of a possible 4.0, the average GPA of students selected for our program is 3.8. Currently, there is no GRE requirement. Our admission decisions are based on a composite of information about the applicant, not merely one factor. The composite includes but is not limited to: grades, personal achievements/involvement during school or since graduation, service activities, leadership, motivation, time management skills, and letters of recommendation. Our application through CSDCAS will require responses to two written and two video prompts.
Application Process
Applications can be completed and submitted through the CSDCAS portal.
