Applicants are highly encouraged to submit (and complete, if possible) their application by the upcoming deadline to be considered for maximum scholarship funding. Applications received after the deadline are welcome and will be reviewed on a space-available basis.

Required application components

The following items are required as part of our holistic application process. Please note, however, that the admission committee reserves the right to request additional documents, such as letters of recommendation, to make an informed decision.

Applicants must submit an online Graduate Application in order to be considered for admission.

Applicants are required to submit an application essay. You may upload it to your online application or send it afterwards as an attachment to graddocs@msmu.edu.

Essay Prompt: Please write a 2-3 page, double-spaced essay about a current problem or issue in education that is important to you. Describe the issue and a possible solution. Include information about your background, interests, and aspirations as they relate to the issue you are addressing.

After submitting your application, please arrange for official transcripts from the college or university that ultimately conferred your undergraduate degree – no need to submit official transcripts from community colleges – unofficial copies will suffice, unless you wish to have courses taken at such institutions considered for transfer or evaluation for waiver of certain exams or requirements.

Important: for transcripts to be considered official, they must be issued by the institution and sent directly to Mount Saint Mary’s University in a sealed envelope or electronically. Copies of transcripts mailed or hand-delivered by applicants will be considered unofficial.

Official transcripts may be sent to Mount Saint Mary’s University in one of two ways:

  • Postal Delivery:
    Mount Saint Mary’s University
    Office of Graduate Admissions
    10 Chester Pl. Los Angeles, CA 90007
  • Electronic Delivery:
    Please instruct your institution to submit secure, electronically-delivered transcript to graddocs@msmu.edu.

Applicants will find and complete the Verification of Work Experience and Employment on the online application. The form will then be automatically routed to your principal for their review via email. Once your principal completes the form, it will then be automatically returned to the Graduate Admission Office for processing.

Each applicant must sign and date a Candidate Disposition Statement found on the online application. You will review and acknowledge the statement and dispositions before submitting the online application.

Once an application is complete, applicants will be invited to meet with a faculty advisor to discuss academic and professional goals, ensure such goals align with the program the applicant intends to pursue and determine possible eligibility for additional grants or scholarships.

Optional school components

The items below are NOT required as part of the application process. They are optional items you can submit, should you wish to strengthen your application. Not submitting these items will not negatively impact your admission decision.

Applicants have the option to submit one or two recommendations from academic or professional sources (such as principals) to strengthen their application. Recommenders should comment on an applicant’s ability to succeed in the program.

To submit a letter of recommendation, simply provide your recommender's name and email address on the online application when prompted. Your recommenders will receive an email invitation to upload and send us their recommendation.

Please note: The 国产传媒 Office of Graduate Admissions policy is that unless the recommender has been notified in advance that the student has not waived their right to view the letter, all letters of recommendation are held confidential and a copy may not be provided to the student by the University.

GRE
The Graduate Record Examination is NOT required.

Decisions are made and communicated 4-6 weeks from the time your application is complete.
*Additional information and admission requirements are required for international students.
