How is program eligibility determined? Is the undergraduate GPA a major consideration?

The Graduate Coordinator carefully considers the overall undergraduate GPA as well as the applicant’s GPA in his or her major. An applicant with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher and a GPA of 3.0 or higher in his or her discipline is generally admitted. If the applicant has an overall undergraduate GPA lower than 3.0, submission of recent GRE scores will be required to for consideration for admissions; the application decision is made by the Graduate Committee. Decisions regarding conditional admission, identification of any needed prerequisites, or other special circumstances are made on a case-by-case basis.
