Graduate Admissions

Additional requirements and higher admission standards may apply to specific graduate programs. Applicants should refer to the handbook for their intended graduate program for detailed information. The minimum requirements for graduate admission are as follows:

Bachelor’s Degree: Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher learning earned within the last ten years. Applicants whose bachelor’s degree was earned more than ten years before admission must provide evidence of an earned graduate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning completed within the past ten years.

Minimum GPA: Applicants must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 2.5. If an applicant holds an earned graduate degree from an accredited institution of higher learning, the graduate GPA may be considered in place of the undergraduate GPA. Individual graduate programs may have additional GPA requirements.
 

Students seeking admission to a Graduate Program must:

  • Complete an Application: Submit an online application for admission to Missouri Valley University at least three weeks before the start of the semester in which the student plans to enroll.
  • Submit Official Transcripts: Provide official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended to the Admissions Office. Admission decisions will not be made until all required transcripts have been received.
  • Review Program-Specific Requirements: Refer to the handbook for the intended graduate program for any additional admission requirements.
  • Note: Admission requirements may vary by graduate program. Applicants are encouraged to consult the appropriate program handbook for specific requirements.
