All decisions will be made in accordance with our posted admissions deadlines. We will NOT release decisions before these deadlines.
You are responsible for ensuring that your application is complete, though we reserve the right to make a decision using materials received 90 days after the application is initially submitted.
Interviews
Although not a requirement to gain admission, interviews are granted only at the discretion of the MSCF Admissions Committee after an initial review of your application. Requests for interviews will not be granted. We will contact you via email if the MSCF Admissions Committee wishes to arrange an interview to further discuss your candidacy for the program. Interviews can take place at any time in the application process. On-campus interviews are preferred; however we do accommodate virtual face-to-face interviews using Skype online video calling software for individuals unable to come to campus.

Information for Admitted Students
Transcripts: Admitted candidates will be required to submit one official transcript from each college or university attended, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, whether or not the candidate has earned a degree. Collect the transcripts in envelopes and have them sealed and signed across the seal by the registrar's office, and then forward them to the MSCF Admissions Office. If your college or university will not give official copies of transcripts directly to students, then request that they send them (in sealed envelopes) directly to the MSCF Admissions Office. Note: All international transcripts must also include a degree certification sheet, indicating name, degree earned, and the date the degree was completed.
International Student Forms: If you are not a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S., you must submit the Graduate Student Financial Statement and supporting documents which are available to download from our website. Although financial documents are not required to render an admissions decision, they are necessary for immigration purposes should you be offered admission.
Credential Verification: We are committed to ensuring the integrity of our admissions process and the reputation of our educational programs. We also want to protect and enhance the value of the degrees that we confer on our students. To guard against any allegations that candidates may have misrepresented themselves in their admissions applications, we have made the decision to establish an independent verification of application credentials for all of our master’s students. We believe that this verification process will support our efforts to ensure integrity throughout the program. Candidates will receive more information on this process upon admission.
