Master's Degree Admissions

Applicants with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university should send the following items to the Admissions Office for acceptance to the university:

• A $60.00 (non-refundable) application fee for domestic students; $125.00 U.S. Dollars for international students.
• An official transcript from each college/university attended.

Applicants accepted by the University for a master's degree seek final acceptance through an individualized specialization. Applicants are considered individually and prerequisite course work may be required. Being admitted by the university does not imply that a student will be accepted in a specialization. Students may receive the specialization application materials from the director of each specialization.
