Introduction to Graduate Writing Skills

As the Admissions Committee considers the applications of prospective students, multiple criteria are evaluated. Although GPA is important, the Committee considers the application in its entirety. GPA and a professional essay are used to determine whether it is in the best interest of the applicant to enroll in the CED5062: Introduction to Graduate Writing Skills course. For students required to enroll in the course, their performance is used as an evaluation to determine their readiness for additional graduate coursework. Students are required to complete the course with a B- or better to move on in a degree-seeking program.
