CONSIDERATIONS FOR ADMISSIONS
Applications for this program must include one official transcript from every college and university attended, a resume, two letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. We acknowledge that many differences of experience, background, and credentialing will be reflected across a range of impressive application files. Accordingly, and in the effort to assure the admissions of students who will be successful in our program, we take a holistic approach in assessing applications. GRE scores are required but may be waived in exceptional circumstances. Files will be reviewed holistically, the program does not have established minimum scores for the GRE. The GRE is not required for students who have successfully completed graduate coursework. Completion of an undergraduate research methods or statistics course is recommended, but not required. For further information please contact the Director of the program at William.Simmons@asu.edu.
International students who are from a country whose native language is not English must provide evidence of English proficiency as indicated by acceptable scores on the TOEFL or IELTS. See additional requirements for international students.
