How to Apply for Admission
|
| To be accepted unconditionally into the Masters program, you must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher. We also require you to submit: ° A one-page statement of purpose, explaining why you are interested in pursuing a Masters in sociology. ° A writing sample from a previously taken course. ° Two to three letters attesting to your professional promise and your academic ability. ° GRE scores. If you have less than a 3.0 but at least a 2.5 GPA, you can be given conditional acceptance into the program. You must also have a complete and satisfactory file. If you complete three courses with a grade of B or better, you can be given full and unconditional acceptance into the program. If you have less than a 2.5 but at least a 2.0 GPA, you can take classes as a non-matriculated student. If you complete three courses with a grade of B or better, and have a complete and satisfactory file, you can apply for admittance into the program. If accepted, your three courses will count toward completion of your degree. Your statement of purpose, writing sample, letters of reference, and GRE scores should be sent to the Sociology Graduate Coordinator: Dr.
Jessica Kenty-Drane Additionally, all candidates must fill out an application for admittance into the School of Graduate Studies. Applications are available through Dr. Bloch, or through contacting the Graduate School at 203/392-5240. You can also acquire an application by going online at: http://www.southernct.edu/grad/ As part of this application, you will be required to provide copies of all of your college transcripts. Your application and transcripts are sent to the address shown on the application, not to Dr. Bloch. Once the Graduate Studies office has processed these materials, copies are sent to Dr. Bloch, who then reviews your transcript. Once
your file is complete, it is reviewed by the Sociology Graduate Admissions
Committee, and you are informed of our decision in
a timely manner. |
