Graduate Admissions

The Director of Graduate Enrollment makes the final decision after receiving an admission recommendation from the department of your graduate program.

Graduate students can obtain aid from the following major sources:

• Graduate Assistantships
• College Work-Study
• Perkins or Stafford student loans
• Scholarships
• Vocational Rehabilitation

You can apply for student financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing the FAFSA is the first step toward getting federal aid for college, career school, or graduate school.

You can find detailed information on the tuition and fees for U.S. and International students on our Tuition and Fees webpage.

Yes, all transcripts submitted to the Graduate School need to be in English. International applicants are required to provide their transcript through a credential verification service for us to receive an official transcript in English and converted to the USA grading system. Keep in mind that any transcript we receive must include individual courses and grades earned for each course.

Yes, you will need to send the official transcripts of all undergraduate study, including evidence of having received a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, as part of your application. Those applying during their final undergraduate year are required to submit a final transcript after completion of their bachelor’s degree and before enrolling in their first semester of graduate study. Evidence of having previously earned a graduate degree may also be required by certain graduate programs.

Applicants should request their school send their electronic transcript directly to your Admissions Counselor.

To check to see if your recommendations, scores, and transcripts have been received or the status of your decision, visit your Application Status page.
