The submission of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores is optional for MS applicants.

A statement of the applicant's goals and reasons for pursuing the degree. Professional experience in some field of communication and/or information is a highly desirable criterion for admission.

The specific policy, as it relates to graduate students who teach, is as follows: Since a certain level of competency with English as a spoken language is necessary for effective communication and teaching, all Graduate Teaching Assistants and Graduate Teaching Associates whose first language is not English are required to demonstrate an appropriate level of comprehensibility for classroom teaching by taking the Oral Proficiency Interview by computer (OPIc) administered through the Graduate School. Students need to consult the ITA-OPIc website for more specific details on the ITA-OPIc, including test dates.
Minimum score requirements for admission to the Graduate School are:
