1. Complete application and pay application fee.
2. Official transcripts in English, listing all undergraduate and graduate work, must be submitted from regionally accredited institutions, or institutions that are members of the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Transcripts must indicate the completion of prerequisite bachelor’s degree and list appropriate leveling work for graduate study.
3. Applicants need one of the following for regular admission into the master’s programs:
-
A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4-point scale
-
If the applicant does not meet one of the grade point averages listed above, then a Graduate Record Exam Score (GRE), a Miller Analogies Test (MAT) Score, or a Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Score may be required for consideration. Test scores older than five years prior to the date of application are not acceptable.
-
If it is determined that a student needs to take a standardized test, the student is responsible for preparing, scheduling, and funding the exam.
4. Provide three letters of reference including one from an individual who has been directly involved in supervising the applicant’s professional experience if the applicant has been out of college for three or more years or an academic advisor for more recent graduates.
5. Submit a self-reflective statement of 500 words relating the applicant’s personal goals to the program requirements. This statement should reflect the student’s ability to communicate effectively through writing, as writing ability will be one component in determining whether the student will be accepted into any program.
6. Those applicants whose undergraduate major is in a field unrelated to the MACM program may be required to take additional hours of leveling or prerequisite coursework.
7. An interview with the Graduate Academic Services Office may be required.
