Admission to the Graduate School
Applicants must meet admission requirements for the program to which they are applying. For specific requirements of a particular program, see the appropriate program sections of this catalog.
To apply for admission to the Graduate School, a prospective student must complete an online Graduate Application for Admission and pay the non-refundable $35 application fee. Applications must be submitted with payment by Discover, MasterCard, or VISA.
Applications will be valid for a period of two years. Anyone wishing to reapply after the two-year period must submit a new graduate admission application, along with the non-refundable $35 application fee, and comply with new admission criteria, where appropriate. This will include any returning students who have previously completed a graduate degree or certificate program.
Applicants who wish to transfer to Jax State and be accepted into a graduate degree or certificate program must be in good academic standing at their current institution and meet the admission requirements for the program to which they have applied.
Enrollment in More than One Graduate Program
A student currently enrolled in a graduate degree program may be eligible to enroll in a graduate certificate program concurrently. Current graduate students must declare their intent to pursue the graduate certificate program by completing the Graduate Certificate Declaration form found on the Graduate School's Website. This form will serve as the student's application for program enrollment and will alert the certificate program and the Graduate School of the student's intent. If accepted, the graduate student will be eligible to complete the certificate program alongside their graduate degree. Once courses have been completed for the graduate certificate, the student will need to apply for the certificate to be notated to their academic transcript by applying for graduation through the established Graduate Application process by selecting the graduate certificate program from the options available.
