Admissions Requirements

Applicants must submit:

1. Application for Graduate Admissions
   The Application for Graduate Admissions is available online or a print version may be downloaded by clicking here. No action will be taken on any application until the $35 application fee has been submitted.
2. Official Transcripts
   Official transcripts from each college previously attended must be sent directly from the institution to UMHB. Even though courses taken at one institution are noted on another college's transcript, applicants must submit transcripts from each institution attended.
3. Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT)
   The GRE/GMAT must be taken and official scores reported if you are applying to the Master and/or Doctorate of Education programs. For applicants to the Master of Counseling and Psychology or the Master of Science in Education in Exercise Science a GRE/GMAT is required if the applicant's cummulative undergraduate GPA  is below 3.0. The GRE/GMAT is not required for other programs. Click here for more information on the GRE.
