The application fee to the MS in EPP program is $75. Application fees can be paid by credit card using the EPP online application. Application fees cannot be received by bank wire.
Applicants must submit official transcripts from both undergraduate institutions and any previous graduate work. For a transcript to be official, it must be sent to the EPP admissions office by the university where the studies were completed. If you are currently enrolled in a degree program that you have not completed at the time you submit your application, please submit your current transcript. An additional (final) transcript must be submitted upon completion of your work.
You should expedite the processing of your application by submitting an unofficial copy of your transcript to the admissions office. An unofficial transcript can be submitted by uploading an electronic copy through the Academic History submission option on the online application.
