Students are expected to have a minimum undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 from an accredited college or 3.0 from an unaccredited college, in upper-division (approximately the last 60 credits) undergraduate courses. Any applicant whose GPA falls below this standard may be asked to submit scores from a recent Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Otherwise, the university does not require GRE scores. It is desirable to have taken courses on logic, value theory, and the history of philosophy, though applicants without any (or minimal) undergraduate philosophy courses are not discouraged from applying. Students applying for admission to the M.A. program whose preparation is deemed insufficient may be asked to take courses as a non-degree student before being considered for admission. Some credits earned under non-degree status can be applied to the M.A. once the student is admitted.
