Admissions Process

Step 1 : Review Application Requirements

The following requirements must be met to be eligible to apply for the program:

  • Online Application
  • Resume
  • Official transcripts from ALL institutions where undergraduate or graduate courses have been taken.
  • * Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller’s Analogy Test (MAT) scores. An undergraduate GPA of 3.5 may be substituted for the graduate school entry examination. 

No single criterion will be decisive. Each item will be considered in relation to the applicant’s total qualifications. Although Charleston Southern University has preferred levels for such criteria, each application is evaluated on an individual basis.

* The testing requirement may be waived if previous graduate level courses have been successfully completed. Decisions to waive this requirement will be made on a case-by-case basis by the director of the criminal justice graduate program.
