Entry Requirement
Admission Requirements:
An applicant’s undergraduate academic record must reflect an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale. All undergraduate work is included in the evaluation. Post-bachelor’s work in graduate-level courses, if any, is expected to average 3.0 (B) or better. Applicants must meet any additional program requirements.
Goals and Objectives
Submit a two-page statement addressing your goals and objectives specific to the program to which you are applying.
Letters of Recommendation
Two recommenders must each submit a letter of recommendation and the Letter of Recommendation Form on your behalf. Recommenders should be professors and/or employers who can attest to your qualifications. One letter should be from a former professor if you have been in school in the last five years. Recommendation letters from non-supervisory co-workers, family members, or friends will not be accepted. If a recommender submits a letter and form by mail to the Office of Graduate Admissions, his or her signature must appear across the back seal of the envelope.
Alternatively, you can send a link to your recommenders through your online application portal. By accessing the links, your recommenders can complete the Letter of Recommendation Form and submit the letters of recommendation electronically, directly to Northeastern. If you scan or email copies of letters of recommendation, these will not be accepted.
Application Fee
The $30 application fee is payable by mail (check or money order), online (debit or credit card), or in-person (cash, check, money order, debit, or credit card).
All standardized test scores (i.e. GRE, GMAT, TAP, Basic Skills, TOEFL, IELTS, ECE, or WES evaluation) must be sent directly from the organization to be considered official.
