To satisfy the requirements for admission:

Earned a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Applicants who have earned a higher degree from an accredited institution without receiving a bachelor’s degree (i.e. Pharm D) may be eligible to apply without the conferral of a bachelor’s degree.

If you are still completing your bachelor’s degree at the time you apply, admission will be based on your current cumulative GPA, and you will need to resubmit your official transcript (showing your conferred degree and final GPA) during your first semester. If your final GPA fell below 3.00, you will be given additional requirements as defined by the academic program that must be met within one calendar year to remain enrolled at µÛÍõ»áËù.

• At least a 3.0 GPA in the most recent degree received with no work experience. A 2.75 to 2.99 GPA in the most recent degree received with at least three years of professional work experience. A 2.5 to 2.74 GPA in the most recent degree received with at least six years of professional work experience.
• No GMAT is required; however, applicants who fall outside admission and work experience guidelines will be reviewed by the program director to determine if a passing GMAT score may be required to qualify for admission to the graduate certificate program. These applicants will be notified by the program with the result of that review.
• Waived Graduate School application fee for all current µÛÍõ»áËù students and alumni. Application fee waiver applies only to the µÛÍõ»áËù Graduate School application. Any students applying to programs with a Centralized Application Service (CAS) application will still need to pay for the CAS application.

µÛÍõ»áËù

Request one official transcript from any accredited college or university where a bachelor’s degree or higher was earned (if you have earned multiple degrees, bachelor’s level or higher, an official transcript is required from each college or university where a degree was conferred).

If you received a degree from µÛÍõ»áËù, you do not need to request a transcript from µÛÍõ»áËù.

The Graduate School & International Admission Office reserves the right to request that applicants provide official transcripts from other colleges or universities as needed.

Exceptions:

• If an applicant intends to use Veteran’s Education Benefits, an official transcript from all colleges or universities attended will be required in order to maintain compliance with Veteran’s Affairs policies.

Electronic transcripts from U.S. institutions should be sent directly from the educational institution to: grad.applicationmaterials@unco.edu.

The Graduate School and International Admission does not accept email, scanned or PDF transcripts directly from applicants. All official transcripts, submitted as part of the application process, are retained by µÛÍõ»áËù and not returned to applicants or admitted students.

µÛÍõ»áËù retains submitted transcripts, from institutions other than µÛÍõ»áËù, for admitted students for up to five years after graduation or date of last attendance at µÛÍõ»áËù. Transcripts provided by applicants who were not admitted, denied admissions or did not complete their application are destroyed after one year. The Graduate School will make every attempt to use previously-submitted transcripts if they are within these timeframes. However, if the Graduate School cannot locate previously submitted transcripts, the transcripts fall outside the timeframes listed above, or they are considered illegible, applicants must provide new transcripts.

Applicants with academic credentials from outside the U.S. will need to follow the requirements for submission of foreign transcripts. Click on the Transcripts tab for information about international transcripts.
