- Quantitative and Verbal Scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Millers Analogy Test (MAT) are required.While both the GRE and MAT are acceptable, the GRE is strongly preferred. The minimal acceptable standards for admission are 3.25 Master’s GPA. A typical GRE score for students in the program is 150 (Verbal) and 147 (Quantitative). However, the program does recognize that multiple factors impact scores and that scores do not represent all of a student’s unique abilities. Students with scores below these averages are welcome to apply. Exceptions may be considered for applicants with extraordinary qualities who have demonstrated excellence in the field of work or research, and who add diversity to the program.However, a student whose GRE scores are significantly lower than others in the program or whose MAT is less than 425 is not normally considered for admission. Conditional admission is not offered at the Doctoral level.

An interview is required for admission.
