One (1) copy of records of all previous postsecondary education.

Contact the Registrar's Office of each higher educational institution that you attended and have one copy of your transcript(s) sent to the Syracuse University Enrollment Management Processing Center. Address and submission instructions are below.

You do not need to send transcripts from secondary schools as part of this application.

We can consider your application with unofficial transcripts, but we recommend that you send official transcripts. If you choose to submit an unofficial transcript, all offers of admission from Syracuse University are conditional pending receipt of official academic credentials showing that a U.S. bachelor's degree (or equivalent) has been conferred upon you.

The personal statement is a statement of your general academic plans, personally written by you, the applicant.

Submit as an uploaded word-processing document through the Graduate Program application.

In approximately 500 words, describe:

Your main academic and personal interests
Experiences in school or work that have helped to prepare you for this course of study
Why you wish to study for the degree youve chosen
Why you wish to study at Syracuse University
Your plans for the future after you receive your degree

The School of Information Studies requires two letters of recommendation for applicants to the masters programs. Our requirement of two letters of recommendation is different from the general Syracuse University Graduate School requirement of three letters of recommendation.

A copy of your up-to-date resume or curriculum vitae (CV) is required.
