Master’s level courses which will not be applied towards
the doctoral degree prior to admission into the
Ph.D. Program.
A three-step admission process is used for screening
applicants:

reviews the application materials for completeness.
2. Once the application is complete, an interview with
two faculty members is conducted.
3. The Doctoral Review Council approves or disapproves
the application and makes its recommendations
to the Dean.
