OEDC Admissions
To be admitted, you need not have majored in any specific undergraduate field. However, you will be assumed to possess basic skills in written and oral communication, mathematics (normally one year of at least pre-calculus at the college level), and computer usage. Students deficient in any of these areas may be advised to enroll in appropriate courses to improve skills.
Admission to the graduate program is competitive. Those who meet the stated requirements are not guaranteed admission, nor are those who fail to meet all of those requirements necessarily precluded from admission if they offer other appropriate strengths.
Admission decisions are based upon a number of factors, including:
- Undergraduate grade point index
- GMAT or GRE scores
- Previous graduate study
- Work experience
- 2 letters of recommendation
- Application essays:
- What are your vocational objectives and how will your proposed plan of graduate study relate to them?
- Within your major field, are there areas of special interest to you?
- Are there any special circumstances related to your academic record that you think we should consider? - Interview
Applications for admissions are taken online at the University Graduate Admission website.
