Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
In addition to the\xc2\xa0University requirements, the English department requires that students meet one of two conditions before being admitted into the department program:
One of these two conditions must be met before a student may be admitted into the English department M.A. program in either\xc2\xa0conditionally classified\xc2\xa0or\xc2\xa0classified status. Applicants who, upon departmental evaluation, do not possess enough qualifying units or the required GPA need to take additional undergraduate upper division English courses to make up any deficits before admission into the program.
Once students have met the above requirements, they may be admitted into the program. However, there are further conditions that must be met before students can be fully admitted. Therefore, there are two types of admission: classified and conditionally classified.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
