Certificate in International Education Leadership

Minimum requirements for admission to Graduate Studies are the following:

• A bachelor’s degree from a college or university certified by a regional accrediting agency (e.g., Higher Learning Commission) approved by the U.S. Department of Education.  (A bachelor's degree from non-regionally accredited institutions may be considered acceptable for admission. These are reviewed by the Exception and Appeals Committee.)
• A cumulative grade point average in undergraduate work at the degree granting institution of at least 2.7 (on a 4.0 scale). At the request of applicant or program, the cumulative GPA can be calculated with the inclusion of the grades for all courses specified on transcripts from accredited institutions (or equivalent) up to the first bachelor’s degree.
• Satisfactory preparation for the graduate program in which the student wishes to enroll as specified by the department of the major
• A test of written/spoken English, which the University reserves the right to request, of any entering graduate student whose primary language is not English.  Additional requirements apply for international student admission
• Students having a cumulative undergraduate GPA below 2.7 (At the request of applicant or program, the cumulative GPA can be calculated with the inclusion of the grades for all courses specified on transcripts from accredited institutions (or equivalent) up to the first bachelor’s degree), at the degree granting institution,  must present a satisfac­tory score on the general test of the Graduate Record Exam, the Miller Analogies Test, or graduate-level subject specific exam as specified by the department of the major. 
• Nine semester hours of graduate work at a 3.0 GPA from a regionally accredited institution may be substituted for the GRE/MAT requirement for regular admission status.
