To be admitted unconditionally to an ACU graduate program a student must submit:

1. A non-refundable $40 application fee.
2. Official transcript/s of all previous college work (original documents with a seal, mailed directly from the issuing institution to ACU Graduate School).
1. One of the transcripts must indicate a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
2. Admission decisions are made on the assumption that applicants will have the bachelor's degree by the time of matriculation. If not, the Graduate School admission is void.

3. Officially reported test score/s on the GRE, GMAT or MAT; check program guidelines for specific test required. International students must submit official TOEFL scores if English is not the applicant's first language. Official test scores come directly from the testing institutions.

4. Recommendation Form from two or three individuals [check departmental requirements] that indicate support of readiness for applicant's graduate study. By requesting the reference forms be submitted online, you waive the right to review this personal reference. 
5. Purpose Statement. A two page, double spaced paper discussing why you want to pursue graduate school, why did you choose ACU, and what are your future career goals. You may send it by mail or attach it as a Word document or a PDF file through email at gradinfo@acu.edu.  Those wishing to purse masters work in English will submit a previously written writing sample instead of a purpose statement.
6. Additional materials may be required by some departments such as additional letters of recommendation, personal interviews, resume, writing sample, or special tests. Please see specific graduate degree program requirements.
7. Additional materials for International Students.
8. Health forms indicating immunization record and a tuberculosis test within the last year. (not needed for online students)

Applicants must also meet all Academic Requirements.

ACU World Wide students may have special requirements.
