All application materials must arrive by the deadlines listed and be presented in typed form. Because some materials take time to arrive, we strongly recommend you send your transcripts and request your letters of recommendation well in advance of the deadline. In rare cases, the admissions committee may consider late applications. It is the student's responsibility to follow up with the program office to ensure that all the components of the application have been received. Please note, that if the deadline falls on a Saturday or Sunday, applications must be received by the following Monday.
Admission to the MSS and MH Programs is on a competitive basis. The admissions application must include:
- Online Graduate Admission Application
- $50 non-reimbursable fee
- 3 Letters of Recommendation. At least two of these letters must be academic -- that is, from former professors of yours. To ensure the complete objectivity of evaluation, students should not have had access to these letters. Letters should be sent by your recommender.
- Statement of Purpose or Letter of Intent
- Writing sample
- Transcripts from every institution of higher learning attended including those foreign. Mailed copies must be in a sealed envelope. E-transcripts are also accepted and can be sent to graduateadmissions@ucdenver.edu.
