In determining admission for the individual applicant, the Graduate Committee evaluates the student's undergraduate record (with special emphasis on upper division courses: junior/senior year), the level of difficulty of course work, as well as grade point average (g.p.a.) in the student's major, the strength of the recommendations, and the quality of the personal statement. The minimum standard for admission as a regular Master's student is a cumulative weighted undergraduate g.p.a. of 3.0 or better. Applicants with an undergraduate g.p.a. between 2.75 and 2.99 may be considered for admission, but are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and provide a written exception statement justifying why they are capable of graduate work and explaining why their undergraduate g.p.a. is below 3.0.
