Admission Requirements

Admission requirements include a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university, and completion of the self-managed application for graduate admission. Documents required as part of this application include:

At least three letters of recommendation.
A written statement of objectives which includes reasons for pursuing the Liberal Studies program and indicating a specific central theme or focus for a proposed Plan of Study.
Official transcripts for all prior undergraduate and graduate work documenting an undergraduate and/or graduate GPA of at least 3.0.

Applications are reviewed three times each year. Deadlines for the review periods are October 15, March 15, and June 15. At each of these deadlines, completed applications are reviewed to select the most qualified candidates. Because admission is on a competitive basis, applicants should be aware that the stated minimum criteria only guarantee consideration for admission, not admission itself.
