Overview of Admissions Process
Before students submit an application, please review the
steps outlined below.
Step 1: Online Application & Personal Essay
Students will need to complete and submit an online application,
including a 500 word personal essay detailing why they are pursuing a graduate
degree.
Step 2: Submit Credentials
After completing and submitting the online application,
students will need to provide the Monroe College admissions office at either
campus location with the following:

transcript(s)

Admissions Fee (we accept check, money order, certified bank draft or cash)
Step 3: Admissions
Interview
To complete the application, students will need to schedule
an interview with the Dean of the Graduate School to discuss their educational
goals, career aspirations and outside interests. Students who live outside of
the New York City Metropolitan area may conduct their interview over the phone.
Students applying for the Online MBA Program may conduct their interview on
campus or via Skype. Please call the campus of your choice to schedule an
interview after completing steps one and two.
Step 4: Registration
Once students have been
accepted to the college, they will receive an official letter of acceptance in
the mail and will need to schedule an appointment to complete Financial Aid
packaging and registration. All incoming students are required to attend the
new student orientation that occurs prior to the beginning of each semester.
Step 5: Foundation Classes
Students who have not
completed an undergraduate course in the subject area they are pursuing are
required to take “Foundation Classes” and pass a proficiency test. Foundation
Classes are offered online or on campus during a weekend either before the
semester begins or early into the semester. Admissions counselors will advise
students as to which classes they may be required to take. Please note that there
is a separate tuition for Foundation Classes.
