Admission Information
Admission Categories
Degree Candidate (Matriculated)
General admission to a graduate
degree program as a degree candidate is granted to applicants
who have a good undergraduate scholastic record (a 3.0 grade
point average (GPA) on the 4.0 system
is generally considered sufficient) and have received a baccalaureate
degree from an accredited college or technical school. In addition to
degree-specific requirements, all applicants for graduate programs in music
except composers must complete a satisfactory
audition
or submit a taped performance.
Students entering the graduate programs in physical therapy and occupational
therapy are only admitted directly from their
prerequisite undergraduate programs at Ithaca College, and need not
complete the application for admission to a graduate program.
External applicants (non-Ithaca College students)
are not considered for admission
to these graduate programs.
Provisional (Non-matriculated)
Provisional is an enrollment status applicable
to students who have not met the requirements and standards for matriculation.
Students who have applied for graduate study and have
been accepted pending satisfactory completion of specific course deficiencies
fall into this category. Also, students with less than an acceptable
cumulative GPA (as determined by the respective
graduate program chair and the dean of graduate studies)
may be enrolled provisionally until they have completed, with a grade
of B or better, the number of graduate credits stipulated by the respective
graduate program chair.
Ithaca College seniors may take certain graduate courses (M.B.A. courses
excluded) for undergraduate credit. They must have a cumulative GPA
of 3.0 or better and have completed at least 90 credits. They
also must obtain the approval of the instructor, the student's
undergraduate adviser, the chair of the graduate program, the dean of
the school, and the dean of graduate studies. Under exceptional circumstances,
Ithaca College seniors may take certain graduate courses for graduate
credit, provided they obtain the approvals previously specified. Courses
taken for graduate credit do not count toward an undergraduate degree.
A maximum of 12 credits earned as a provisional student may be credited
toward a graduate degree.
Extramural Students
Students who are not seeking advanced degrees or who
are not admitted to degree programs may apply for enrollment in graduate
courses as extramural
students. This category requires a baccalaureate
degree from an accredited college or technical
school and permission of the graduate chair. Registration is
through the Division
of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions.
In the M.B.A. program, extramural student status is granted for students
who are degree candidates in good standing in other graduate programs, provided that graduate credit earned in Ithaca
College M.B.A. courses will be applied toward those degrees. This category
requires a baccalaureate degree from an
accredited college, permission of the graduate chair, and a letter of
endorsement from the chair of the graduate program in which the student
is enrolled. Registration is through the Division
of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions.
A maximum of 12 credits earned as an extramural student can
be applied toward degree requirements. Extramural students are eligible
to apply for matriculated status upon completion of a maximum of 12
graduate credits with a GPA of 3.0 (B) in these credits, provided that
no more than one grade below B has been earned. These credits may be
used to fulfill program requirements only if they are approved by the
graduate committee of the major field. Credits earned more than three
years before admission to a degree program cannot
be applied to meet degree requirements.
