Admission Requirements for Master’s Programs

To be considered for admission, students must:

  1. Hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
  2. Have a general academic index of 2.50 or above in the last sixty credit hours of academic work at the undergraduate or graduate level or a combination of both levels, at students’ discretion. Although generally these credits will be at the undergraduate level, students with graduate credits from an accredited university may combine these graduate credits with the last credits approved at the undergraduate level until completing the 60 stipulated credits. Applicants for admission to graduate programs who do not meet the required grade point index may count the grades of courses repeated after graduation for the admission index instead of the original grades.
  3. Demonstrate, through an examination or other appropriate means as determined by the academic department or division, the ability to interpret professional material, both in Spanish and English, and the ability to express themselves correctly in writing in one of these languages.
  4. Request an evaluation of their transcript by a specialized agency or by the academic unit where they are applying if their bachelor’s degree or equivalent is from an accredited university that uses a grading system different from that in effect at this University.
  5. Meet the test results of any test established by the program you are applying to.
  6. Meet the admission criteria of the programs to which they are requesting admission. These criteria shall be established by the Department or Graduate Program and have prior approval of the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs.

Note: Due to the health emergency caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, students who apply for admission to a master's program that requires an admission test (GRE, GMAT, EXADEP or MAT) for some of the terms that begin during the academic year 2021-22, will be exempt from this requirement, as long as the enrollment is completed for one of the academic terms of such period.
