• GRE scores are not required.

Gather your papers

Applying will be easier and faster if you gather these required documents beforehand:

• Statement of purpose explaining why you wish to pursue a graduate certificate.
• TOEFL, IELTS, PTE or C1 Advanced score reports for applicants whose native language is not English. For information on sending test scores, visit the Grad School website.
• Two letters of recommendation. In the online application, you will need to supply names and contact details of two people, one academic and one professional source, who can attest to your professional competence, academic preparation and potential for graduate work. The Graduate School will contact your references with instructions regarding the letters.
