To Apply

Step 1:
Complete and submit an application for Graduate Studies at least one month before classes begin. Follow this path from Admissions Applications:

<First time user account creation>
New students must create a log in ID and PIN for the application process.
Select <Graduate Studies - Degree Bound> from the drop-down menu.
Be sure to note on your application which semester or session you wish to begin.
Be sure to note the areas of concentration you wish to pursue. You must choose at least two areas, and no more than three.
Complete and submit the application.

If you wish to be admitted initially as a non-degree seeking "special" student, select <Non-Degree Seeking Graduate> from the drop-down menu mentioned above. You may complete up to 6 credit hours as a special student before applying for Graduate admission. Credits taken as a special student require advisor approval to be counted toward the MAIS degree. Students with special status do not qualify for financial aid.

Step 2:
Submit a letter of intent.

Step 3:
Submit sealed official copies of transcripts.

Step 4:
Applicants who have a GPA of 3.0 or better for the last 64 credit hours of undergraduate/graduate work will be admitted with Final Admission/Good Standing status. The GRE is not a requirement for admission to the WNMU Graduate Division.

Step 5:
Applicants who have a GPA of 2.75-2.99 for the last 64 credit hours of undergraduate/graduate work will be admitted with Final Admission/Probation status. To be removed from Academic Probation, a student must complete one semester of graduate work, designated by his or her graduate advisor(s), with a 3.0 GPA or better. If the student does not meet this requirement, s/he will remain on Academic Probation and may be disqualified.
