Application Requirements
Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. The University of Colorado Denver has a minimum requirement of 3.0 undergraduate grade point average (GPA) for applicants to the Graduate School. The number of applicants admitted to the MA in Applied Geography & Geospatial Science in any year depends, in part, on space availability. The program is competitive, and we generally discourage applicants whose undergraduate GPA is below 3.0. Notification of acceptance or refusal for admission into the program is mailed to the applicant approximately six weeks after the deadline for submission of applications.
Application Process
We accept applications once per year, before or on February 1st, for admission in fall of the same year.
- a graduate application
