Graduate Student Admissions Requirements

Graduate Admissions Requirements

If the applicant does not qualify for standard admission, 吃瓜猎奇 Global may admit an applicant under provisional status if the application meets the minimum rubric requirements and is recommended by the Admissions Committee or Provost. 吃瓜猎奇 Global reserves the right to access and review academic history as deemed relevant. Each provisional application will be reviewed under the Provisional Admissions Rubric. It is highly recommended that applicants take their time preparing all materials for consideration.

Applicants seeking admission with a conferred GPA under a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) but at or above a 2.3(on a 4.0 scale) will be considered for provisional admission without further documentation needed.

Applicants seeking admission with a conferred GPA below 2.3 (on a 4.0 scale) will need to in addition to other application materials, also submit:

SmarterMeasures survey questionnaire
SmarterMeasures skills assessment

The applicant will be notified of any additional conditions or coursework beyond the standard degree requirement prior to enrollment and may be limited to a specific course during their first term. Students who fail to meet the conditions of their provisional admission status will be denied admission and administratively withdrawn. Students who are administratively withdrawn for not meeting provisional requirements may apply for readmission after 30 days following their withdrawal date. All outstanding student account balances must be paid in full and all official transcripts must be on file prior to consideration for re-admission. If re-admissions is approved, financial aid eligibility is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if a student would qualify to receive federal student loans.

Graduate students may be considered for provisional admission if there are positive indicators of graduate success through review of additional documentation (e.g., high GRE or GMAT scores, undergraduate performance in upper division courses, graduate course success, relevant professional experience, or outstanding professional achievement).

Graduate applicants who do not meet standard admissions requirements or who have content-area deficiencies may be required to complete RES500 Fundamentals of Quantitative Analysis or RES501 Fundamentals of Research and Writing as part of their degree requirements. These courses prepare students to successfully meet the learning objectives of their degree program.

Once provisionally admitted, students must complete two consecutive trimesters.聽 Students will be required to complete at least three (3) credit hours, and earn a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher and a course completion rate of 66.66% (credits earned/credits attempted) or higher in both the first and second two consecutive trimesters to be eligible for full admission. When the conditions are met, the student will be notified they have achieved full admission status. Students who do not meet the stipulations outlined will be withdrawn at the end of their 2^nd consecutive trimester.
