Candidates must have completed all undergraduate degree requirements and have been issued a bachelor’s degree before matriculating as students. If the bachelor’s degree was issued by a U.S. college or university, as a general rule, it should be from a regionally accredited institution. However, the program may grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Official transcripts from the awarding institution must specify the date upon which the degree was issued. Graduate-level course transfer credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
