Graduate Admission Requirements
Decisions regarding admission to the MCTP program will be made by the McClure School of Information and Telecommunication System's Graduate Admission Committee. Full, or unconditional, admission to the MCTP program will be based on the following criteria:
-
A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, with sufficient undergraduate course work to constitute at least a minor in Information and Telecommunication Systems, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Engineering, Economics, Public Administration, Political Science, or related areas deemed relevant by the Graduate Admissions Committee.
-
A cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) earned for all undergraduate or graduate course work.
-
Graduate Record Examination (GRE); or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
-
A completed application, including the applicant's Personal Goals Statement.
-
Resume.
-
Three (3) letters of recommendation.
-
Further information as necessary; the Graduate Admission Committee may request a personal interview if additional information about the applicant is required.
It is possible for applicants to substitute professional experience for completion of course work in the relevant areas listed above. Applicants who meet the above requirements, except for course work in Information and Telecommunication Systems, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Engineering, Economics, Public Administration, Political Science, or another relevant area, can demonstrate preparation for study in this field by having completed at least three years of professional experience in which the applicant performed tasks or duties covered by the MCTP curriculum. Applicants demonstrate this experience by submitting a resume that will be reviewed by the Graduate Admission Committee to determine its relevance and adequacy.
