Take the first step toward your degree.

Admission Requirements

The best way to begin your admission application is to contact an Enrollment Advisor for a Professional College Advisory Session. You’ll discuss admission requirements, career goals, work experience, prior college credits and other life experiences that you can apply toward your adult education degree.

Admission Requirements for Undergraduate Students

In addition to the advisory session, please submit the following:

• A completed application for admission (you can apply online and at our campus locations).
• $50 application fee.
• Official transcripts from all previous colleges and universities attended. Transcripts should be mailed to the campus registrar.
  • No previous college experience? Submit official documentation/self-certification of high school or GED completion instead.
• You can be admitted conditionally with unofficial copies of transcripts.

Admission Requirements for Graduate Students

Start by contacting an Enrollment Advisor for your Professional College Advisory Session and then submit:

• A completed application for admission (you can apply online and at our campus locations).
• $75 application fee.
• Official undergraduate transcripts.
• A personal statement regarding your career goals.
• A current resumé of professional work experience.
• Additional information regarding awards and recognition.
• Three (3) letters of recommendation.
• Master of Arts in Professional Counseling students should use this reference form.

Professional Counseling and Substance Abuse Counseling applicants should also submit:

• A two-page essay focused on professional career development. Address how your past experiences have influenced your decision to pursue higher education. Your essay should convey why you want to be in the counseling profession. It should also demonstrate the ability to organize thoughts in writing and present them in a clear manner.
• Official transcripts from all undergraduate institutions attended.
• Official transcripts of all completed graduate-level coursework.

The admissions committee evaluates all applications on the basis of academic background, work experience, recommendation letters, and your personal statement on career development. GMAT and GRE scores are not required.

Some Master's degree programs may have additional application requirements. If you are applying without a Bachelor's degree in a closely related field, some additional coursework may be required. If you are looking for online degree programs for adults, contact us for more details.
