Admission to a Department as a Graduate Student
In order to pursue a credential certificate or master's degree, students must be accepted by the department or college offering the program. In some instances (see specific department listing) this process may require supplemental application to the department or college. Following review, the department or college will determine whether or not a student meets its requirements for admission to its degree program. Departments or colleges that receive more applications from qualified students than the number of graduate spaces they have available will admit students in priority order based on the strength of candidates' qualifications.
If space is available, a student who is admissible to the University but who does not meet program requirements for admission may nevertheless be accepted as a conditionally classified graduate student by the department or college offering the program, subject to the provision that all remaining admission requirements of the program must then be fulfilled after enrollment.
