Post-Baccalaureate

Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited US college or university, or an equivalent degree from a foreign university, and wish to pursue a second degree, obtain teacher certification, or meet other academic goals should apply for admission as a post-baccalaureate applicant. Post-baccalaureate applicants interested in pursuing teaching certification must simultaneously apply to Woodring College of Education. For graduate studies, please visit the Graduate School website.

A complete application includes:

• Application for admission submitted by the application deadline
• $70 non-refundable application fee
• Official transcripts from every college and university attended, even if you do not expect or desire to transfer credit
• A Statement of Purpose that helps the Admissions Committee understand your academic goals, related experiences and/or preparatory course work, and professional goals

What to expect after you apply

After you submit your application for admission online, you will receive an email confirming that we received it. 

You can pay your application fee by logging in to your Student Admission Portal (we cannot process your application without it). Once the application fee has been processed, you can check your application status at any time using the Student Admission Portal. The portal provides a personalized checklist of items we've received, as well as any missing items needed to make your application complete. 

Students will be notified in writing of their admissions decision.  While some students are notified earlier, the majority of applicants are notified within six to eight weeks of the application deadline. We appreciate your patience in this process to ensure every on-time application is carefully reviewed. Students who need an earlier decision are welcome to request one in writing, though a favorable response cannot be guaranteed.
