Types of Admission

Students admitted to the program will enroll either as full-time students taking 15 hours per semester or as part-time students taking six hours per semester. For further information, see the section, “Program of Study,” in this bulletin. Regular admission is granted to students who have a cumulative 3.00 grade point average in undergraduate course work. Subject to the regulations of the Graduate School, probationary admission may be granted to students who do not meet this requirement. Admission on probation means that a student must obtain a 3.00 gpa in the first semester to remain in the program. The school does not admit students on a provisional basis if they have not completed the GRE.
