If you don’t meet the requirements listed below, we ask that you submit either a standardized exam score or a writing sample. If you have already earned a master’s level degree, you may apply to the program without submitting a standardized test score or completing the Testing Waiver Form.
Applicants do not need a writing sample or test score if they meet either of the following requirements:
In lieu of a standardized test score, applicants may submit a writing sample. The writing sample should demonstrate clarity of thinking, reasoning ability, logic, and strong writing and communication skills. The sample should be an academic or professional document that has been previously written and perhaps evaluated in an academic or professional setting. The sample should not be something prepared for the sole purpose of admission to the program. Examples include previous academic work, articles, professional blogs, executive summaries, professional proposals or professional letters.
Each applicant is required to submit two recommendations. Please submit either two professional references or one professional and one academic reference from individuals who know you well and who are able to comment on your skills and abilities. Appropriate forms are available as part of the online application by providing the name and email address of each of your references.
Each applicant must submit an official transcript that shows your undergraduate degree was attained.
A résumé detailing the applicant’s work and academic experience is required
After all application documents are received and academic requirements are met, the program director and academic committee will schedule an interview. This may be conducted on campus or over the phone.
