General Admission Procedures

General application procedures are described below. However, individual programs often have additional requirements such as a statement of purpose, supplemental application or portfolio. Descriptions of program-specific application requirements can be found on the program pages listed in Graduate Degrees or Graduate Certificates, in the university catalog or by contacting individual departments.  Please note that all supplemental application requirements should be sent directly to the appropriate department you are applying for.

• Apply online or submit two completed copies of the Application for Admission. A $50 application fee must accompany the application. (Only one fee is assessed for dual-degree applicants.)
• Submit two copies of official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. Students who have previously been admitted to Eastern should submit transcripts only from schools attended since their previous EWU admission, if any.
• Submit official score reports from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test, if required by the department, or score reports from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), for MBA applicants. See the GRE website or the GMAT website for detailed information about these tests, including testing locations and the registration process.
• Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the most recent 90 quarter or 60 semester graded credits of postsecondary academic course work. For students who do not meet this standard, the vice provost for Graduate Education may, with the written recommendation of the program director, approve admission based upon considerations which include GRE or other test scores, performance in relevant graduate courses and faculty evaluations.
• Applicants must be recommended by the major department and approved by the vice provost for Graduate Education for admission.
• International applicants whose first language is not English must submit a TOEFL score of at least 92 on the iBT or 580 on the paper-based test, a PTE Academic score of at least 63 or an IELTS score of at least 7.0. Applicants with an English language test score below the qualifying level may enroll provisionally while studying for English proficiency. More information is available at the international graduate students page. International applicants who have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited postsecondary institution in the U.S. are not required to submit an English language test score as part of their application.
