Step 1: APPLY FOR ADMISSION
Students must submit the online application and supporting documents by the appropriate deadlines. Additionally, a $45 application fee, three letters of recommendation, a narrative describing the applicant’s career goals, and official transcripts of all college work must be sent to the Graduate Studies Office by the program deadlines. Note: students may only apply to one degree program.
The graduate programs graciously waive the application fee for students participating in special programs. These programs include: NU-PATHS, McNair, BRIN/INBRE, and CSC. If you are a participant in one of these special programs, please identify it in the appropriate section on the application. Additionally, when submitting your application, choose the 'Waiver' option in the fee payment section. Please note, your participation in the program will be verified before your application is processed.
Students applying late may encounter delays in admission and may not be able to register for the desired session. Transcripts and all other materials submitted in support of an application become the permanent property of the University and will not be returned.
Deadlines - All programs have specific deadlines. It is advisable to check with the program concerned as to the specific application deadline and the best starting date for that particular program.
References - Three references are required.
Narrative - A narrative in which the applicant describes his/her career goals and how a graduate degree in the requested program would aid in achieving these goals must be submitted.

Step 3: OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
