  3. Official transcript(s) from the degree-conferring undergraduate (and graduate if applicable) institution you attended, preferably but not necessarily accredited by an accreditor endorsed by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
  • Applicants with unaccredited Bachelor's Degrees can be considered for admission on a case by case basis.
