Application and Admission Information
Graduate Programs
Detailed Admissions information can be found at Graduate and International Admissions and the SIUE Admissions Policy.
Prospective students can apply for admission in classified or unclassified status. Classified students are those admitted to a specific master’s, doctoral, or specialist degree program; unclassified students are those who wish to enroll in graduate level courses but are not seeking a degree. All applicants, whether or not they are seeking a degree, must present evidence that they hold a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent from an accredited institution.
All students entering the University who were born on or after January 1, 1957, are required to provide Health Service with a completed Immunization Record Form and proof of immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus/diphtheria. This requirement is in compliance with legislation enacted by the State of Illinois.
Application for admission to a degree program is a two-part process. Only after the prospective student has been admitted to Graduate School will the department of the intended degree major review the admissions file. The applicant should consult the academic unit offering the program for information on specific departmental application deadlines and program admission requirements. Some academic units may require the submission of test scores, personal interviews, personal history information, letters of recommendation, portfolios, or auditions. Applicants assume full responsibility for supplying any credentials or data required for admission.
