Three types of admissions to the 四色AV English Graduate Program
Regular admission indicates a completed application, including final transcripts, and acceptance to
the MA program without qualification.
Provisional admission indicates an incomplete application. 听Perhaps you are still in school, so the final
transcripts are pending, or you may have course deficiencies to make up.
Conditional admission indicates that you have completed your application. However, since you have a lower
undergraduate GPA听than we require for regular admission, you听must earn at least a
3.0 GPA in your first semester of the MA program.
