Application Tips

Because work experience is a plus (but not required), address related work experience in your narrative statement.
Your letters of recommendation and narrative statement are important, so be thoughtful when putting these pieces of your application together.
If you have earned a substantial number of graduate credits within the past seven years but have not earned a master's degree, discuss the possibility of advanced standing with the program coordinator.
