Graduate Admissions


Graduate students are admitted into Quincy University graduate programs as degree-seeking graduate students. For all programs, applicants who have or will have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university prior to enrollment are eligible to apply. University-level admission requirements for all graduate programs are as follows:

  • Application - A completed application form for graduate admission.
  • Official Transcripts - Official transcripts from every college or university attended. (An English translation of the original transcript(s) by an accredited transcript evaluation service is required.)
  • Recommendations - Two recommendations from individuals who address the student’s academic and/or professional potential.
  • Educational Requirements - A minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Conditional admission may be possible according to program criteria.
  • Resume - A current professional resume.
  • Written Statement - A written statement that meets the criteria specified by the graduate program.
  • Entrance Test - An entrance examination as specified by the graduate program.
  • International Students - Applicants from non-English speaking educational institutions must submit the results of the TOEFL. Generally, a score of 550 or above is acceptable evidence of a student’s ability to successfully study in an English-speaking environment at the graduate level. Also, the applicant must submit documentation showing how his/her education will be financed. A bank official must authorize this financial documentation.
  • Enrollment fee of $325 upon registration.
  • Enrollment fee for international students is $1,200.

Individual graduate programs may have additional admission requirements. For detailed information, students should consult the catalog section for the program to which they are applying. Each graduate program takes a portfolio approach to graduate admission and will consider all of an applicant’s materials.

Graduate Re-Admission

Graduate students returning after an absence of one year or greater will follow the current academic catalog at the time they are readmitted to the program.
