Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis once all application materials are received. The average time for admissions decisions is two weeks.

- Official Academic Transcripts:听An official transcript articulating both GPA and grades for all previous coursework is required and will be evaluated at the time of admission.
- The Graduate Programs Office reserves the right to request an applicant submit a WES or ECE evaluation.
