Graduate Degree Programs

Transcripts and Test Scores

Have the registrar of each institution you attended send an official transcript of your record and your admission test scores to the Office of Admissions. The application is not processed until all credentials are received. You are responsible for the proper transmission of these records. A separate transcript is required from each university attended, even though the work may be shown on another transcript, whether or not credit was earned or desired. If you are currently enrolled, provisional admission may be granted pending arrival of records for this work only. All other materials must be received.

All applicants are required to submit admission test scores. The General Test scores of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) are required for all programs except Biology, which requires both the General Test and the Subject Test scores.
