About the Application Process
Students can be admitted to the Graduate School at the University of New Orleans on either a degree-seeking or non-degree basis.
All applicants must complete the online application to the University which can be found on the Office of Admissions website.
- Non-degree seeking students must also submit an official transcript from the institution that awarded their baccalaureate degree.
- Degree-seeking students must also submit official transcripts from each institution attended & the relevant test score (GRE* or GMAT) to the Office of Admissions. To be considered for admission to a graduate degree program all applicants must meet the University minimum requirements for admission of a 2.5 undergraduate GPA and 3.0 graduate GPA.

Many degree programs will also require additional material (such as letters of recommendation, statement of purpose or a resume) to be forwarded to the graduate coordinator and may have admission deadlines independent of those established by the University. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the graduate coordinator for more information.
