Admission shall be based on a review of credentials and published admission criteria used by graduate听
faculty to judge the appropriateness of the applicant to pursue graduate study in their selected Masters听
concentration:
Applicants are reviewed by faculty reviewers. Reviewers use an admission scoring rubric听
developed and approved by the Master鈥檚 Committee to insure review consistency.听
The Assistant Dean of the Graduate Programs, or designee, presents applicants following听
individual faculty review to the Masters Admissions Committee or directly to the Masters听
听Reviewed by Master鈥檚 committee with no changes October 2013
Committee. The Masters Admission committee meets as needed and is made of up of at least 3听
graduate faculty members.听
The Masters Admissions Committee and/or Masters Committee determine the college听
admission recommendation.听
Admission committee and/or Master鈥檚 Committee recommendations are submitted electronically to the听
Graduate College for final decision. Formal admission decisions are communicated to the applicants by听
the Graduate College.听
Applicants are given notice of admission/denial within a reasonable period of time following the听
decision. All admitted applicants are recommended for conditional admission pending outcome of the
required background check.
Beginning Spring 2014, the NursingCAS Web Admit System will be used to manage the admission听
process. Applicants will be assigned to Graduate Coordinators. Graduate Coordinators will assign
applicants to faculty reviewers as appropriate.听
