Master Admissions
Understanding the Master’s Degree Admissions Process
Understanding the master’s admissions process is crucial for prospective master’s degree students.
Master’s degree programs generally have a set of common admission requirements. Most institutions require a bachelor’s degree in a related field. However, there are some exceptions where a bachelor’s degree is not a prerequisite for enrolling in a master’s program.
Standardized test scores, such as the GRE or GMAT, are often part of the admissions criteria. However, an increasing number of programs are moving towards test-optional policies.
Letters of recommendation and a written personal statement or video essay are also pivotal. They offer the admissions team insight into your motivations, career aspirations, and how the program aligns with your goals.
International students face additional requirements, such as language proficiency tests (such as TOEFL or IELTS). Finally, be aware of deadlines and prepare your application in advance. It can be advantageous to apply early.
