For consistency, the final grades for all transcripts submitted will be calculated to a final GPA mark on a scale of 1 to 4, where 4 is the highest grade. Transcripts showing only a rank grade (such as gayyed gidan), without indication of  a GPA or percent value will be calculated as follows:

However, when transcripts show grade rank value (such as gayyed gidan), as well as GPA or percent value, then the GPA or percent value will be calculated to a GPA value on a scale of 1-4, and will take priority over the rank value.

Additional criteria such as the following may also be considered when evaluating a candidate for admission to the graduate program:

1.       Evidence of academic English proficiency as required by the relevant graduate program.

2.       Test scores (GRE, GMAT, etc. where applicable).

3.       Maturing time since undergraduate experience.

4.       Work experience in a field related to the program applied for.

5.       Strong faculty advocacy with written intent to mentor the student.

6.       References from instructor and/or employer speaking to motivation and maturity.

7.       Personal interview.

8.       Departmental Arabic language test for specific programs.

9.       Any post high-school academic records showing evidence of being prepared for graduate level courses.

Qualifications for Ph.D. Degree programs

Applicants must have completed both an accredited Bachelor of Science degree and Master’s degree with an academic record at a level sufficient to qualify for admissions. In additional to the criteria mentioned above for MA and MS degrees the following is also considered when evaluating a candidate for admission to the PhD program:

1.       Academic performance showing evidence they are prepared for PhD level courses.

2.       GRE test scores that suggest potential.

3.       Thesis abstract.

4.       Research interest and objectives.

5.       Evidence of academic English proficiency prior to enrollment.
