ADMISSIONS

Applicants are encouraged from individuals in all fields. All applicants are considered on an individual basis focusing on the applicant’s potential for successful completion of the program. Since applications are processed on a revolving basis, an individual accepted into the program may begin at the start of any term, providing space is available. An applicant’s potential for success is evaluated through a combination of the following indicators:

 - A candidate’s grade point average of 3.0 (on a scale in which “A”: equals 4.0) or above for the last 60 hours of coursework
 - A satisfactory record as demonstrated by the letters of recommendation and/or interview

 - A 300-500 word essay addressing the applicant’s abilities/experience directly related to the areas of study
 - Scores on the Polaris or Miller Analogy Test
 - An admissions committee reviews each person’s application

As there are several measures that are used in the application process, there is no one single factor that would qualify or disqualify a person. Some students with a GPA above 2.8, but under 3.0, may be admitted on a conditional basis.
