Qualification Requirements
For consideration for admission in the master's program, applicants must fulfill these requirements:
A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university
A 3.25 GPA or higher for the final two years of undergraduate study (In recent cycles, Master's applicants who gain admission often have had GPAs of 3.50 or higher. However, we encourage applications from all interested students.)
Florida State University is currently waiving the GRE requirement for most Master's programs, including the Master's in Criminology and Criminal Justice.
Three letters of recommendation, preferably from professors familiar with your academic qualifications
A roughly 300-500-word statement (longer is acceptable if needed) that describes your interest in pursuing the master's degree and your ultimate career goals. Where possible, please describe those interests in reference to topical issues and areas of research in criminology and criminal justice that inspire your career goals.
International students whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and score at least 600 on the paper-based test, or at least 250 on the computer-based test, or at least 100 on the new Internet-based ibTOEFL test. Applicants may be asked to confirm their scores by retaking the exam when they arrive at FSU.
The College Academic Committee assesses all applicant files. No files will be considered unless they contain all required materials. Admission decisions are made on the following basis:
Whether the candidate meets the minimum qualifications of the University and the College
The level of the GPA and GRE scores
Assessments of the quality of the file documents, especially letters of recommendation and personal statements
The strength of the file when compared with others in the applicant pool
