Graduate Admission Requirements

At CSE, there is no typical applicant. Program Directors work hard to evaluate each applicant in a holistic manner, assessing character, service, special talents, creativity, independence, and life experience alongside traditional measures of academic success—like grades, rigor of curriculum, test scores, and recommendations. While there’s no perfect formula that will guarantee acceptance, there are a few minimum requirements that guarantee each student we accept will come to campus prepared to succeed.

Applicants for admission to a graduate degree program must meet at least two minimal requirements:

1

Possess a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university or have evidence of equivalency if a degree was awarded at a foreign institution of higher education.

2

Demonstrate potential for graduate work, ordinarily by having maintained a "B" average during undergraduate study and/or previous graduate study.

Additional prerequisite requirements, standards for admission, and evidence of suitability for advanced study are required by particular programs.
