Generally, admission is granted only to those with high promise for success in graduate study. Potential may be demonstrated by experience in increasingly responsible positions, previous schooling, and test scores on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) recorded within the past five years. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is acceptable, with special consideration given to course work in English.

The minimum Academic Index required for admission is:

GPA X (Verbal + Analytical GRE) = 2650

Generally, students must provide acceptable test scores at the time of enrollment. If students are otherwise highly qualified, they may take the GRE during their first semester of enrollment, with further enrollment contingent upon test scores.
