Graduate Program

We take a holistic approach to the admission process, which means we consider the whole applicant, not just empirical data like a GPA or GRE scores. While not an official requirement, each area has guidelines for scores and GPAs that the faculty would like to see in all applicants. Data from 2015 show that students in our graduate secondary and graduate elementary programs entered with a GPA of 3.45.
