- What are the requirements for admissions?
- The requirements for the online program are the same as for the on-campus program. Please visit both the graduate admissions website and the online program admissions page for specific details.
- Can students be accepted provisionally in the online program?
- No, there is no provisional acceptance.
- Can I take courses before I am officially accepted into the program?
- It is possible to take up to two courses (six credits) as a non-matriculated student before officially beginning the program. If you would like to pursue this option, please email aplingonline@umb.edu to have your name put on a waiting list of people that we will contact when we know which courses have space available each semester.
- If I have a four-year degree from an English speaking country do I still have to submit TOEFL scores?
- Applicants who have received at least 4 years of education (including their undergraduate program) in Australia, Canada (except Quebec), England, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, United States, or Wales are exempt from submitting a TOEFL or IELTS score report. All others are required to submit official score reports.
