Early Admission into the Doctoral Program: Requirements for All M.S. Students

This option provides the school’s M.S. students the opportunity to earn the Ph.D. in a shorter time. Minimum requirements for early admission are the completion of 24 credits in the M.S. program with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and the completion of specific master’s courses (see master’s program sections for details). If admitted into the Ph.D. program, students will take the remaining 12 credits for the M.S. degree in the Ph.D. program. Master’s students may apply for early admission no sooner than during the term in which they will be completing 24 credits. The application for early admission must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and must include the items listed under the Minimum Admission Requirements section for the Ph.D. program (the Office of Admissions will supply the Admissions Committee with the student’s current transcripts). The applicant is encouraged to request evaluation forms from GSCIS professors familiar with his/her academic capabilities and potential. Upon successful completion of 12 credits in the Ph.D. program, the student may apply for the master’s degree (contact the program office for a degree application).

See additional requirements under individual M.S. programs.
