• Submission of a personal narrative;
• Two letters of recommendation; and
• Any other requirements as detailed on the application form, or as may be requested by the University.

All students for whom English is not a first language are required to show English proficiency before beginning an academic program.

• A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 550 for Paper-based, 213 for Computer-based, 90 for Internet-based Test (IBT) and above, or a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English of grade C or better is required for those applicants whose language of instruction is not English
• Where applicable, an official translation of all academic records will be required
• Meeting the minimum entrance requirement for any of the programs does not guarantee admissions into the University program.
