Required For Graduate Admission

A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university is required for admission to a graduate program

In addition, you will need:

• A completed application for admission. You can apply online for regular admission, or you can print the application and mail it in. Links to forms required for non-matriculant admission or auditing classes are provided below.
• Official transcripts from all colleges attended (graduate and undergraduate). Individuals applying while still completing a bachelor’s degree will need to provide a current transcript and then a final transcript before enrolling at SBU. We provide a transcript release form and list of regional college transcript offices to help you with this process.Click here for these items.
• Two recommendations.
• Test score. Some of SBU’s graduate programs require one of the standardized admission exams (this requirement may be waived for applicants possessing an earned master’s degree). See Required Exams page. Test scores should be official and sent to SBU directly by the testing organization. The program director may require a new test of applicants presenting scores that are many years old.
• Other information as may be mandated by a specific program, or requested by a program director. Some programs, for example, require an interview and writing sample.
• $30 processing fee (waived for online applicants and in case of financial hardship).

All these items should be sent directly to the graduate admissions office.
