Graduate Application Materials
		Transcript Unofficial transcripts are required for application. Official transcripts will be required upon admission. A minimum GPA of 3.0 in your last 60 credits of your undergraduate program is required for full admission.
		Recommendations The online application within Slate will prompt you to provide names and contact information for three references who can speak to your potential success in a graduate program. Once your application is submitted, they will be prompted to complete a recommendation on your behalf. A strong recommender is someone who has a graduate degree and can speak to your potential in a graduate program.
		Personal Statement Graduate faculty meet routinely throughout the academic year to holistically consider applications. To assist us in doing this, we require that applicants complete a structured personal statement which captures this information in addition to the online graduate application.
