How the Application Process Works:

At the University of Louisiana at Monroe, all prospective degree-seeking candidates are evaluated for admission by two units – the Graduate School and the department with which the degree is being offered.

The Graduate School evaluates candidates to determine eligibility for admission into the university. The respective academic departments evaluate candidates for eligibility into their graduate programs.

Each of these units needs specific materials from you to make a through decision on student eligibility. Please make sure that you send the requested information so your application is not held up for lack of information or missing required documents.

At a minimum all prospective students will be required to submit university application and fee, official transcripts (both graduate and undergraduate) from every institution attended, and official test scores (either GRE or GMAT). Some departments may require additional items. To ensure that these items are submitted, contact the department in which you are applying.
