Applicants must apply to a specific Master's degree or Doctoral degree program and meet the academic requirements of the program.

To qualify for admission to a Master’s or Doctoral program, you must meet the general university admission requirements for graduate standing as well as the professional, 个人, scholastic and other standards as prescribed by the program. 你可以使用 研究生学习 site to link to information about these requirements as well as contact information for the various programs.

The minimum university admission requirements for graduate standing consideration are:

  • Complete a four-year college course of study and hold an acceptable baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution by the end of  the summer term prior to Fall enrollment or the end of the Fall semester for Spring enrollment.
  • Be in good standing at the last college or university you attended.
  • Meet the minimum GPA requirements for admission to the university. ​This can be met in any of the following ways:
    • 拥有高等学历
    • Hold a baccalaureate degree with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. (没有舍入)
    • Hold a baccalaureate degree with a GPA of at least 2.5 (没有舍入) in the last 60 semester or 90 quarter units you attempted, excluding lower-division and/or extension coursework attempted after the baccalaureate degree.
    • 学生 in the process of completing a baccalaureate degree may be admitted on a provisional basis, subject to proof of degree completion, if their cumulative GPA is at least 2.7 (没有舍入) or if the GPA in their last 60 semester or 90 quarter units are calculated at a 2.5(无四舍五入)或更高. An official transcript showing degree completion must be submitted or the offer of admission will be withdrawn.

  • If transfer work is not included in GPA, we calculate the true cumulative GPA as follows:
    • Use cumulative totals as they appear on the transcript from each school.
    • Convert all units used into either semester or quarter units as follows:
      • Multiply semester units by 1.5 =四分之一单位
      • 1 / 4除以1.5 =学期单位
    • Combine the units and grade points for all schools attended
    • Divide total grade points by total units AA this will provide the true cumulative GPA
      (Total GP ÷  Total units = True Cumulative GPA)

如何计算60/90的GPA:

  • Beginning with the most recent work, we calculate the grade points for the last 60 graded semester units (90-quarter units) completed.  Use the whole term in your calculation. 不要使用部分术语.
  • Convert all units used into either semester or quarter units as follows:
    • Multiply semester units by 1.5 =四分之一单位
    • 1 / 4除以1.5 =学期单位
  • Divide grade points by attempted units to get GPA.

请注意: We do not round GPA calculations.
