Applicants for admission must provide the following items to the Graduate School: (1) Application for Admission to the Graduate School, (2) application fee, (3) official documentation of the general Graduate Record Examination submitted directly to the Graduate School with a score averaging 20th percentile or above across the verbal and quantitative sections, (4) one transcript from all colleges and universities previously attended, showing a cumulative 2.5 GPA or higher for the undergraduate degree, (5) three letters of recommendation on letterhead or the Graduate School recommendation form from persons familiar with the applicant's potential for masters-level study in public administration, and (6) a 500- to 1000-word Statement of Purpose discussing why the applicant is interested in a masters degree, and why the masters program in public administration specifically is a good fit for their goals.

Applicants who have not submitted a qualifying score on the Graduate Record Examination and/or have not satisfied the American Government course prerequisite (see below) may be conditionally admitted for one term only. Students admitted conditionally must submit an acceptable Graduate Record Examination test score and/or proof of satisfaction of the prerequisite by the end of the first semester of enrollment.

All Applicants are required to have completed satisfactorily (i.e., grade of C or higher) POLS 2010 (American National Government), URBS 2010 (Introduction to Urban Studies) or URBS 4700 (American Government Institutions and Urban Governance) or an equivalent undergraduate course in government prior to unconditional admission. A graduate-level course in this subject can also be used to meet this requirement. This prerequisite must be satisfied in the first semester if conditional admission is granted.
