Human Services (MS) — Admission Requirements

Please see the general statement of admission requirements for all graduate programs in the “Admissions” section of this publication, and the “Special Instructions for Applicants to Individual Programs” section at the back of this publication.

The MS in Human Services Admission Committee seeks to admit students with a diversity of backgrounds and educational and professional experiences. Applicants will be recommended for admission on the basis of both academic preparation to pursue graduate studies and appropriate professional experience in human services. Evidence of those qualifications includes

1. A résumé of professional activities that demonstrates substantial practical experience (paid or volunteer) in public or community service, and a personal statement that reflects harmony between the student’s goals and program options.
   
2. Three letters of recommendation, at least one of which is from a supervisor currently working with the applicant in a professional context.
   
3. A score on the Miller Analogies Test or the Graduate Record Examination. Please note: A test score is not required if the applicant holds an advanced degree from a US university.
