How to Apply
Apply
Students can apply to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Graduate programs two ways. The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ application is more streamlined and allows for instant uploads and quicker decisions. Some programs participate in a centralized application system where students can apply to multiple schools at once.
In addition to an application, we may request any/all of the following:
Interview
Some graduate programs will require an interview, or provide optional interviews. This helps the admissions committee get to know you as an academic on an even greater personal level.
Ìý°Õ°ù²¹²Ô²õ³¦°ù¾±±è³Ù²õ
For any courses completed in post-secondary education, official transcripts will need to be sent. Contact any prior institution’s registrar office to inquire about how to send your official transcripts. Some graduate programs will accept unofficial transcripts for initial decisions.
Writing Component
Some programs might require a writing component in the form of short essays, personal statement and/or answers to writing prompts. The purpose of the writing component is for the admissions committee to get a better sense of who the applicant is outside of academics.
Resume
Some graduate programs will require a resume to demonstrate professional experience and highlight achievements and skills applicable to certain graduate programs.
Letter(s) of Recommendation
Depending on your program, you will need to provide at least one professional letter of recommendation. This letter should not be from a relative or friend, rather should be from a current or former professor, supervisor or other professional source. Check with individual programs for requirements regarding the letters of recommendation.
