Admission and Program Requirements

Admission to all graduate degree programs in the School of Accelerated Degree Programs requires a student to possess a 3.0 or better in their undergraduate studies as well as successful completion of the university’s admissions process. Students who do not meet that grade point or other admissions standards will be given individual consideration and, possibly, be admitted following a meeting with the program director. In this case, the submission of a GRE or GMAT score may be considered in support of an application for admission. Once accepted, graduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Students who do not maintain a 3.0 grade point average may face academic probation and/or suspension from the university. See individual programs for any additional admission requirements.

Degree programs typically either consist of five core clusters, and a capstone course or directed thesis. Students are assigned a faculty advisor to guide them through their specific degree program. Each degree program is designed to meet both student needs and accreditation requirements. Consequently, students may not deviate from any cluster requirements. See individual programs for any additional admission requirements.
