Admission
To qualify for admission as a graduate student, you must
have a four-year United States bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, and must
meet the admission requirements of the academic program to which you apply.
You should begin the application process six to twelve
months prior to expected enrollment to allow time for the exchange of
correspondence, evaluation of all required documents, financial matters, visa,
and travel arrangements.
Most graduate departments have application deadlines.
If the department has no deadline, your application is due no later than March
1 for fall admission and September 15 for spring admission. All materials
submitted for admission must be complete at least three months before
registration.
Enrollment Requirements
If you intend to
study on NAU's main campus, you must be enrolled for 9 hours of course work
each fall and spring term. Of these 9 hours, 6 hours must be in face-to-face
courses. You cannot enroll in more than 3 hours of online coursework in a term.
If you intend to enroll in an online program that you will pursue from your
home country, the above requirements do not apply.
