Applications are monitored by staff in the Office of Graduate Studies. When an application is complete and meets all of the below requirements, the file is forwarded to and evaluated by graduate faculty in the applicable graduate degree program. A final admission decision is made by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research upon graduate faculty recommendation.
While UW-Green Bay has a basic admission policy for graduate study, a philosophy of personalized admission assures that each applicant is considered individually. Entry requirements for full admission include the following, however some programs may require additional supplemental materials based on their program's criteria.:
- A baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution.
- UW Admission Application form (apply.wisconsin.edu)
- A minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA), measured on a 4.0 scale.* Students from schools not using a grading system will be evaluated on an individual basis.
- Official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions of higher learning where the applicant has earned 9 or more credits.
- A non-refundable graduate application fee.
- Additional prerequisites for entrance to the specific program chosen.
*Students who do not meet the minimum 3.0 GPA requirement or who have other deficiencies may be admitted on a provisional basis. Provisionally admitted students who receive at least a B grade in courses totaling nine credits of graduate work after acceptance will be fully admitted.
International students are required to provide the following additional materials:
- A test of English proficiency (Duolingo, TOEFL, or IELTS)
- Course-by-curse transcript evaluation from a professional evaluation service currently recognized by NACES (www.naces.org).
