The Graduate School at UX offers three levels of graduate programs – doctoral, master’s, and undergraduate. Students with a bachelor's degree or the equivalent from an accredited college or university may apply for admission to the Graduate School. Students may be admitted to the Graduate School if their previous academic record and background suggest reasonable likelihood for success in their proposed programs. Students are admitted by the Dean of the Graduate School only upon recommendation of the graduate program involved. The Graduate school has two offices. One office is shared with the undergraduate admissions and is located in the Millennium Student Center (MSC). This is the central place where all the applications are received. Another office is the Dean’s office, which is in located elsewhere. There are two full time employees in the admissions office who take care of all the application processing. Once processed at admissions office and reviewed by departments all applications go to Dean’s office for a final review.
