All graduate applicants must:
Present an excellent scholastic record
Have sufficient financial resources for minimum tuition, supplies and living expenses
Be proficient in English

To establish English proficiency, you are required to submit an official qualifying score meeting minimum Graduate School requirements. The Graduate School's English Language Proficiency requirements are the absolute minimum, programs can set higher minimum standards.
