College Student Personnel
Application & Admission
To apply to the graduate program in College Student Personnel, candidates should submit an application online through the Graduate School web site. Along with the online application, send the following materials to the program office:
- At least two letters of recommendation: one academic, preferably a faculty member from your undergraduate major; and one student affairs professional
- official transcripts of all previous college work
- a current resume
After initial screening, selected applicants will be invited to interview, either in person or via the telephone, with a faculty representative.
The completed application package, including supporting materials, is due for Fall admission by January 15. Materials received after this date and prior to April 1 are reviewed on a space-available basis.
Selection for admission to this program is competitive, and enrollment is limited; preference is given to applicants with experience in college student affairs. While no specific undergraduate academic major is required, applicants need to have a clear understanding of the field of College Student Personnel. Also, they should be willing to focus on personal and professional development as part of their education. Diversity among students is valued by the program and student affairs profession.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistantships permit students to integrate theory with practice and to receive financial assistance. If admitted into the program, information on applying for assistantships or other direct links to practice in college student affairs settings is provided.
Although most students receive financial aid through assistantships, other assistance may be available.
