A credit card payment is acceptable for online applications only. Applications will not be processed until this fee is paid. No waivers or deferrals are allowed.
Entrance Test Scores: Applicants are offered admission based on many criteria that include the applicants overall academic background, test scores, statement of purpose, recommendation letters, and transcripts.

Graduate Record Exam: GRE scores are mandatory. Applications will not be reviewed before receipt of GRE scores or notification that the GRE will be taken within the first quarter of attendance.
