Admission Requirements

Applicants should understand that the admissions process is competitive and based on a careful assessment of each applicant’s file. We can only offer admission to a limited number of qualified applicants to ensure high-quality advising and accessibility to facilities and other resources.

Five information sources are considered in our admissions decisions including:

• The grade point average from all prior undergraduate and graduate study. 

• English Language Proficiency scores, if applicable. GRE scores are NOT required.
• Breadth and depth of the past program and/or work experience.
• Letters of recommendation.
• The applicant's statements.
