To be admitted as a matriculated degree seeking graduate student, an applicant must:
- Have demonstrated the potential to pursue graduate study successfully — that is, in general, have attained a B (3.0) average in all previous coursework.
- Submit a completed application form with a $50 non-refundable application fee.
- Meet program admission requirements, as specified. Official transcripts must be submitted, including proof of an earned bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
- If coursework or degree is from another country, applicants must submit certified translations and evaluations of all prior collegiate academic records on a course-by-course basis from an organization like the World Education Services. In addition, scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (T.O.E.F.L.) must be submitted from all applicants from non-English speaking countries. Information and registration forms can be obtained from the T.O.E.F.L. Program, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. 08540 or visit the T.O.E.F.L. website for up-to-date information at: www.toefl.org. A minimum score of 90 on the internet based test (I.B.T.) is required for admission.
To be admitted as a non-matriculated (non-degree-seeking) graduate student in order to take courses for teacher certification or personal enrichment, an applicant must:
- Submit a completed application form with a $50 non-refundable application fee.
- Submit an official transcript indicating receipt of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
- Take a limited number of credits as prescribed by the specific program.
Admission and enrollment as a non-matriculated student in no way implies admission to a degree program. Students wishing to change their status from non-matriculated to matriculated must reapply and meet all college and program specified requirements. Each program specifies the maximum number of credits from non-matriculated status that may be applied to a degree program.
New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires that all students born on or after January 1, 1957 show proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella prior to their first registration. Also in accordance with NYS Law, all students are now required to complete and return the meningitis form provided by the University to the Student Health Center.
