Transcript:
Transcripts must indicate degree(s) awarded, course titles, credit hours, and grades or scores earned from all graduate and undergraduate schools attended. All transcripts must bear an original signature and seal, either from the issuing institution or a notary public, and must have been issued within a year of the application date. Student copies of documents are not accepted. If an applicant’s current degree program is in progress, he/she may be conditionally admitted subject to receipt of a final transcript verifying the degree awarded. A final official transcript with degree posted must be submitted within 30 days of the first day of classes.
Personal Statement:
Your professional statement should be written in essay format and should include discussion of your reasons for pursuing graduate study, your academic background, your research interests (if applicable), relevant professional experience or related accomplishments to date, and your career goals. A typical statement is between 500-2000 words in length. We encourage you to submit your Curriculum Vitae along with the personal statement.
Recommendation Letter:
Two letters are required, typically from professors and/or employers. We prefer professors or parties that can assess your academic work. You will be required to input the recommendor's name and email address during the application process; they will receive an electronic invitation allowing them to type in their recommendation.
Portfolio:
A portfolio is required for ALL graduate programs; we will only accept electronic submissions. In words and images, your portfolio demonstrates your accomplishments, expertise, and preparedness for the selected degree program.
