Application to The Chicago School’s graduate programs is open to any person who has earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and who meets other entrance requirements. Applicants will be judged on their overall ability to do graduate work.

Factors that are considered in admission are:

• GPA from undergraduate and any graduate schools
• GRE general test scores
• Relevant work history
• Required essay(s)
• Letters of recommendation

GPA

• Generally, the Master of Arts programs require a
  3.0 or higher (4.0 scale)
• Education Specialist and doctoral programs typically require a 3.2 or higher (4.0 score)
• However, each applicant is reviewed holistically, taking factors such as personal and professional experience and accomplishments into consideration. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Office of Admission to discuss their unique qualifications.

GRE

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required only for Psy.D. applicants. Submission of the GRE is not required for our Ed.S. and M.A. programs; however, we encourage students to submit their scores to enhance their applications. Please note that you must have your official scores sent to The Chicago School (School Code 1119).
