To be considered for admission the graduate applicant must have earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, have been in good standing at the last institution attended, and have a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.7 for the last 60 semester units (90 quarter units) attempted. The general Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required, but highly recommended for international students and those students with a GPA below 3.0.
There is no separate department application, but applicants should submit a second set of transcripts to the department.
