The MPPA admissions committee carefully evaluates each applicant record using the five following criteria: Bachelor’s Degree by the time of enrollment, prospective students must have obtained a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent from an accredited college or university. Applicants must submit official transcripts documenting the baccalaureate degree and all other prior college and graduate-level coursework completed. Grade Point Average: A minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale is required to be considered for regular admission. This GPA is higher than the minimum for the Graduate School. An undergraduate GPA below 3.0 will be considered on an individual basis for restricted admission. Demonstrated proficiency in college algebra or the equivalent. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in college algebra or the equivalent. Graduate coursework also will be taken into consideration. Applicants who do not meet these criteria may be admitted on a restricted basis and asked to satisfactorily complete a math proficiency test. Letters of Recommendation. Applicants must obtain three letters of recommendation. The letters should be from those who are familiar with your professional and/or academic skills. At least one of the letters must be from a current or former college-level instructor. Personal Statement. Applicants are required to submit a 2-3 page personal statement to demonstrate competence in writing. The statement should explain how the MPPA program fits in with the applicant's educational and professional goals. This personal statement may be sent directly to the MPPA program; a short statement of purpose in the web-based admission application is not sufficient. IELTS - 6.5 , TOEFL -79
