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.
