- A written description of your graduate study objectives.
- A personal statement for any additional information or extenuating circumstances is optional.
- An applicant with a degree from an institution where the language of instruction is not English is required to provide official score reports from either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB), or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
- Although departments may adjust their GPA requirements to reflect their own applicant needs, the College generally looks for applicants who have demonstrated academic effort through a minimum GPA of 3.2.
