  • All course work completed outside of the U.S. must undergo course-by-course credential evaluation. 
  • Minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. (Meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee admission.)

  • Resume.
  • Statement of purpose.
  • All required official transcripts must be delivered in a sealed institutional envelope or sent from the institution through a secured system, such as SCRIP-SAFE or Docufide. Applicants are encouraged to send in their official transcripts prior to the start of their intended term.
