What is the minimum grade-point average (GPA)?
There is no minimum. The admissions committee reviews all materials and makes decisions based on an applicant’s entire packet. Nevertheless, because we cannot accept everyone who applies, GPA is one component of the application packet that helps us make difficult decisions about who should be accepted. For our Ph.D. program, the average GPA for people accepted the past two years was 3.67. For our M.A. program, the average GPA for people accepted the past two years was 3.36. Please keep in mind that these are averages, so some people had higher GPAs and others had lower GPAs.
