Transcript:
Applicants must submit official transcripts form all post-secondary institutions attended, regardless of whether a degree was earned. International transcripts not issued in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Transcripts are considered official if they are sent directly from the institution to our office, or if they are sent by the applicant or a third party and they remain in an original sealed envelope from the institution.
Transcripts sent to our office should be mailed to:

Personal Statement:
Applicants must submit a personal statement of interest and purpose which should address future goals and proposed use of the degree, as well as other factors the Admissions Committee should take into consideration when evaluating application. Submissions should be 1-2 pages, double spaced.

Applicants must provide the name and contact for two individuals who can recommend the applicant for admission. Good choices for recommenders include former or current professors, supervisors, or community leaders who are familiar with the applicant and can comment on the applicant’s ability to succeed in a rigorous graduate program. The applicant should specify to recommenders that the Admission Committee gives a significant weight to the letters.
