Application Materials include:

 

1. UMass Boston graduate admissions application form and application fee $100

2. Official transcripts from each college and university attended

3. Submission of GRE test scores is optional. However, we highly encourage you to submit GRE scores if you have them for our consideration of your admission. We use a holistic approach to making admissions decisions that includes consideration of your undergraduate GPA, selectivity of your undergraduate institution, your personal statement, your letters of reference, and your professional work experience. GREs can provide an additional insight into your preparation for graduate study, but are never the sole factor in the admission decision. GREs are more indicative of future academic success for those applying early in their careers, or immediately after receiving their undergraduate degree, than those who are mid-career.

4. A current resume or CV

5. Two letters of reference should come from individuals who can assess the applicant’s academic preparation for advanced graduate work.

6. Short writing sample (3-5 pages): Any substantial piece of academic writing of which the applicant is the sole author

7. Statement of purpose (1500 words maximum) that addresses the following questions:

What are your career objectives? How will a master’s in global comparative public administration advance those objectives? In what ways does the UMass Boston global comparative public administration program address your particular academic, career, and personal goals? What professional, personal, and academic experiences have especially equipped you for the challenges of pursuing a master’s degree? What personal strengths will you bring to your studies? What personal challenges or hurdles do you anticipate having to address in order to complete the master’s program?

8. Language requirement: The proposed academic program is conducted in English. Proficiency in another language besides English is an advantage to the applicant as it makes available a wider range of international scholarship and should be noted in their application.

9. For international students, a minimum TOEFL of 79 or IELTS of 6.0 is required.
