An application for admission can be downloaded at this time.
1. Application in writing submitted to the Office of Graduate
Admissions accompanied by a $35.00 application fee, which is neither
deductible nor refundable. The application for admission and supporting
credentials must be received in the Office of Graduate Admissions
by the published deadlines. (Some programs have earlier deadlines).
Materials submitted in support of this application cannot be returned.
2. Possession of a bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, from
an accredited college or university.
3. Two official transcripts of all previous academic work attempted
beyond high school. Transfer credit posted on the records of other
institutions is unacceptable and official transcripts of these
credits must be supplied.
4. Official copies of satisfactory test scores as specified by
the program requirements.
5. An overall grade point average of at least 2.75 (based on a
4.0 scale) on all of the applicant's previous work beyond high
school. The average for the junior and senior years must be a
3.0 or better.
6. At least three evaluations from persons familiar with the applicant's
personal and professional qualifications.
7. An essay describing the applicant's experience and objective
in undertaking graduate study.
8. Acceptance into a specific program must be approved by the
department or college offering the program. Meeting minimum requirements
for admission does not guarantee acceptance into a program. The
University reserves the right to restrict enrollments when necessary
because of budgetary and other constraints including the availability
of faculty expertise in a specific area of study and the enrollment
limitation established by the North Carolina General Assembly.
Applicants with records of high quality who do not fulfill these
requirements may be conditionally admitted. International students
from non-English-speaking countries must submit official scores
on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the Michigan
English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB).
1. A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university.
2. Application in writing submitted to the Graduate Admissions
Office, accompanied by a $35 application fee, which is neither
deductible nor refundable.
3. GPA required for entry to a master's degree program. If the
applicant has earned a post-baccalaureate, degree grades in that
program will be taken into consideration.
4. Official transcripts are required. (See program descriptions
for specific transcript requirements.)
5. Some programs also may require:
a. Standardized test scores;
b. A personal statement outlining why the applicant seeks admission to the program; and
c. Additional admission requirements as specified.
Students should consult the coordinator of the certificate
program to which admission is sought to identify program prerequisites.
Admission to a graduate certificate program does not ensure admission
into a degree program.
Students seeking to take courses beyond the baccalaureate degree
for certificate renewal, for transfer to another institution,
as prerequisites for admission to a graduate degree program or
for personal satisfaction may be admitted as post-baccalaureate
students. This classification is not open to foreign nationals
who are on student visas. The following policies apply to applicants
for post-baccalaureate status:
1. Post-baccalaureate students must have a baccalaureate degree
from a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
2. Applications for admission must be accompanied by $35 application
fee, which is neither deductible nor refundable.
3. Post-baccalaureate students may register for coursework at
any level for which they have the prerequisites.
4. Post-baccalaureate students will be subject to academic regulations
and standards required of degree-seeking students.
5. The post-baccalaureate classification carries with it no implication
that a student will be admitted to a degree program.
6. Post-baccalaureate students will be assessed tuition fees based
on the level of courses for which they are enrolled. If enrolled
in any course for graduate credit, they will be assessed graduate
fees for all courses.
7. A post-baccalaureate student who is subsequently admitted to
a graduate degree program may request that a maximum of six hours
completed for graduate credit be used for his/her program. All
coursework must approved by the student's department and listed
on student's Admission to Candidacy form.
