Application for admission to graduate degree study should be filed, along
with all supporting documents, at the Institute's Admissions Office.
These are the steps to submit your application for the IDT program:
1. Completed application for graduate admission and payment
of the application fee.
2. Graduates of colleges other than the Institute of Technology
must request that official transcripts all undergraduate and post-baccalaureate
work be sent to the Admissions Office. Transcripts of Institute of Technology
graduates will be secured by the
Admissions Office directly from the registrar.
3. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted to the
Admissions Office by each applicant applying for admission to degree study.
If possible, preference is placed on a letter from a current/former workplace
or practicum supervisor and a letter from a faculty member.
Once the Admissions Office receives all of an applicant's required documents, the credentials of the applicant are forwarded to the divisional graduate review committee, and a recommendation is presented to the dean. The final decision regarding admission to a degree program is transmitted to the applicant by the Director of Admissions. After formal admission, a student is assigned a faculty program advisor. A program of graduate study is planned and filed in the school/department office and in the Admissions Office.
In addition to the above general Institute admission requirements, students would normally have to meet the following program requirements:
1. A baccalaureate degree from an accredited university
or college.
2. A minimum overall GPA of 3.0
3. For those without a Bachelor's degree in communications,
rhetoric, journalism, English, linguistics, computer science, or a related
field, at least 15 credits in appropriately related courses.
A prospective student must also submit a portfolio
documenting preparation for graduate study, including:
1. An essay describing what you can bring to this program
and why you wish to pursue this degree.
2. Additional selected materials supporting your preparation
for graduate study.
