Program Admission Requirements:
Graduation from an accredited college or university with a bachelor's degree with a minimum of 2.75 grade point average (four-point scale) or graduation from an accredited college or university with a master's degree or higher with a minimum of 3.0 grade point average (four-point scale).
In addition to GPA requirements, applicants must also submit a resume, statement of purpose, and one letter of reference. Applications will be reviewed by the admissions committee, which will consist of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, the Chair of the Department of Communications, and one faculty member. The admissions committee may elect to conditionally admit a student who falls short of the Graduate School GPA requirement, if other application materials indicate excellence and likelihood of success. The admissions committee may consider international degrees, equivalent to the U.S. Bachelor's Degree or higher.
Applications are welcomed from international students who wish to attend UWA. In addition to meeting the regular admission requirements, foreign applicants whose native language is not English (who elect to take courses taught in English) must submit satisfactory scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum TOEFL score requirement of 550 on the paper-based TOEFL or 79 on the iBT, 6.5 on the IELTS, and 180 on the Cambridge English Scale are required. International students who have graduated from English-speaking undergraduate schools are exempt from the TOEFL requirement. The TOEFL code for UWA is 1737.
