Admissions Requirements

The online master of science (M.S.) in student affairs and higher education is open to eligible students in the U.S. (including the District of Columbia and all U.S. territories). The program also is open to students in Canada (all provinces). The program is closed to students residing in countries other than the U.S. and Canada except for U.S. military and State Department personnel and their family members with APO/FPO addresses.

Applicants must satisfy the following minimum requirements:

• Hold a baccalaureate degree granted by a regionally accredited institution (for international students, a degree granted by a recognized institution)
• Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale in the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework
• The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is not required.
• We encourage on-campus students to pursue graduate assistantships to gain professional experience.

Note: It must not be assumed that meeting minimal standards guarantees admission to the program.
