Applicants should be aware that a student is admitted to a graduate program, not to graduate studies in general. It should also be noted that all entering students must have successfully competed a college algebra course as part of their undergraduate degree regardless of their major. The MES Graduate Admissions Committee will use the following criteria for admission considerations:
Application form with a letter outlining the applicant's goals and career objectives. The application form can be found at the KSU website (www.kysu.edu) or obtained from the KSU admissions office.
Transcripts: Copies of all official transcripts must be mailed from the applicant's undergraduate institution directly to the Office of Graduate Studies, Kentucky State University, Frankfort, KY 40601.
GRE scores: Official scores should be sent to the Office of Graduate Studies. It is the responsibility of the applicant to apply for and take the examination and have the test scores sent. GRE test dates, times, and fees can be confirmed at www.gre.org
Three letters of recommendation (professional and/or academic) mailed to the Office of Graduate Studies.
