The Admissions Committee will review all completed applications after the deadline. The program advisor may contact you with questions about your application.

Candidates who are invited for admission will follow the Enrollment Services Steps for New Students to finalize their admission with the university.
Candidates will also be invited for admission will be invited to a mandatory orientation meeting. During orientation, a Master’s program planner will be developed for each student and each student will be advised as to the appropriate sequence of classes. It is important that students attend carefully to the advised sequence of classes as course offerings are limited in the Master’s program. Many required courses are offered only one semester each year.
