Admission Requirements

Students who meet all academic conditions are accepted to a degree program with regular status. Those whose background does not include the specific requirements for the graduate program may need to take undergraduate foundation courses prior to accessing regular graduate courses.

There are three basic requirements for acceptance to a graduate program:

• a bachelor degree from an accredited institution, or equivalent (e.g. a Moroccan Licence, engineering degree);
• strong academic average in course work leading to the Licence; or, if graduating from a system using the US higher education model, a ‘B’ average or better in upper level (junior and senior level) work and in any graduate work already completed; or, other evidence of ability to succeed in graduate study;
• adequate preparation for the proposed graduate program; and, acceptance by the appropriate Admissions Committee.

Selected candidates may be invited to take an interview with the admissions committee.

All graduate students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. For placement purposes, students for whom English is not the first language must submit a TOEFL score of 550 and obtain a 5.0 score over 6.0 in Writing.
