Programs. The following points apply to all applicants regarding admission to a graduate
degree program and non-degree-seeking graduate studies.

  and standardized test scores. In some cases degree program may have additional requirements
  such as a statement of purpose by the applicant or a restriction on the number of
  students that can be admitted based on accrediting agency requirements.

• An applicant is admitted to Graduate Studies upon acceptance and admission into a
  specific graduate degree program or non-degree-seeking program.
