Most students will not have to submit test scores from the GMAT or GRE. If you have a graduate degree of any kind, or a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale, no test scores are required. In addition, students applying to certificate programs, or who wish to take only one or two courses, do not have to submit test scores.

If you do not have a graduate degree and your undergraduate cumulative GPA is lower than a 3.0, you may submit GMAT or GRE scores as part of your application. If you choose not to do so, you may be provisionally accepted as a degree-seeking student. This allows you to take five graduate courses, after which you will be granted full admission to a degree program if you earn a GPA of 3.0 or higher in these courses. All five courses will apply to the degree you choose.

You’ll receive an email to the address you include with your online application to confirm that it was submitted successfully. Once your official transcripts and all other required application materials have arrived, the admissions committee will review your credentials and make an admissions decision. Decisions are typically made within two weeks of receiving all application materials.
