All applicants must:
(1) have earned a U.S. bachelor’s degree or its equivalent from a regionally accredited institution. If the applicant’s degree is from a non-U.S. college or university, the institution must be recognized and approved by the Ministry of Education or Commission responsible for higher education in the country where the degree is earned. The degree must be equivalent to a four year U.S. bachelor’s degree, or higher degree.
(2) have earned a 3.0 or better GPA in the last 60 hours of baccalaureate coursework (required for applicants with less than a graduate certificate, graduate degree or professional degree).
(3) meet additional requirements for international applicants. Please note that applicants who are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents of the U.S. may be required to show proof of English language proficiency. See Language Requirements for more information.
Because requirements vary, applicants should refer to a degree program’s graduate admission page to learn about specific admission criteria (e.g., requirement of standardized tests such as the GRE or GMAT), application deadlines, eligibility, and application process. To find a department or program’s web page, refer to the list of graduate degrees.
Applicants for distance or online programs should consult the Mizzou Online website to see if your state of residence has any restrictions.
