Degree Seeking
Degree status is granted to students who wish to pursue a specific degree or certificate program. Applicants for graduate certificate and master’s degree programs must submit, from a  regionally-accredited, bachelor’s-degree-granting institution, official transcripts indicating a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and completion of the undergraduate program. The completed application for admission must be accompanied by a personal statement and the application fee. UMUC Europe does not require the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) for admission.

In addition, candidates for this program are required to have earned their bachelor’s degree in one of the engineering, physical science, or mathematical disciplines and have substantive practical experience in information technology. Candidates who do not meet these requirements should consult the program director.

Non-Degree Admission
Students who do not wish to earn a UMUC degree but wish to enroll in courses, to transfer credit to another institution, or for the purposes of professional development or recertification must complete an online application for graduate admission, pay the $40 application fee, and submit official transcript showing proof of at least a bachelor’s degree. If taking courses for transfer, students must present a letter from the graduate dean of the home institution indicating the student is in good standing and that the UMUC credit is acceptable towards the student’s degree.
