Loyola Marymount University Bulletin 2011-2012
Master’s Degree and Credential
Loyola Marymount University welcomes applications from students without regard to race, color, gender, creed, national origin, disability, marital status, or religion. All prospective graduate students are expected to provide evidence of suitable preparation for graduate-level work. U.S. applicants should have received a bachelor’s degree from a college or university that has been accredited as a degree granting institution by one of the accrediting bodies recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation (CORPA). The bachelor’s degree must have been awarded by the institution where final coursework was completed. For School of Education applicants, the bachelor’s degree must be awarded from a regionally accredited college or university.
All applicants for a Master’s degree and for a California Credential must supply the following admission materials:
1) application for admission plus the application fee ($50.00) and 2) two official transcripts of all schools attended since high school. Most programs require additional materials, including standardized test scores, a personal statement, and letters of recommendation. Further details on the admission procedure, application deadlines, and departmental prerequisites are given in the section dealing with the respective programs. A student who wishes to apply for admission to a program after the closing date for applications should contact the program director for permission to file an application.
Additional Admission Requirements for International Students
- International applicants who have completed their postsecondary education from a college or university outside of the U.S. must hold a degree from a university recognized by the Ministry of Education as a degree granting institution in the country where the institution is located. All international applicants must have their transcripts translated and evaluated by a U.S. transcript evaluation service before the application is considered for admission. For applicants to the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering, School of Education, School of Film and Television, and Marital and Family Therapy program, a detailed transcript evaluation identifying GPA must be submitted with the application.
- All applicants (including those who received their bachelor’s degree from a U.S. college or university) must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) unless they received a high school diploma in the United States.
Exceptions to this rule may be made on a case by case basis for students from countries where English is one of several official languages, as well as at the discretion of the program director. The minimum score for admission into most graduate programs is 100 Internet-based, except for the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering, which requires a minimum score of 79. For information regarding the TOEFL, please write to: Test of English as a Foreign Language, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A., 08540. If after admission to a graduate program the applicant’s proficiency in English should prove inadequate, the University reserves the right to require additional proficiency in English and failure to comply will result in disqualification from the graduate program.
- The applicant must also file with the University a certified statement showing financial ability to cover all obligations for the full period of time for which the student is making application. This statement should be from either a United States bank or agency or an international bank. The United States Department of Immigration and Naturalization Form I-20 Certificate of Eligibility will not be issued by the University until such documentation is on file in the Graduate Studies Office.
Tuition, books, etc., plus living expenses amount to between $25,000 and $40,000 a year or more depending on the program selected.
- The applicant must comply with passport and visa requirements as set down by the United States Immigration Service.
International students must be continuously enrolled during the academic year to meet visa requirements.
- All admission requirements should be received ninety days prior to the term for which application is being made.
- An international student cannot be issued an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility as a non-degree graduate student.
