Admission Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with at least a 3.0 grade point average “B” as indicated by transcripts.
  • GRE or MAT
  • A short essay on personal career goals specifying how a graduate degree from Barry will help to fulfill these goals.
  • Two letters of recommendation from academic sources.
  • Students whose native language is not English can be admitted into the MLS program by demonstrating a minimum score of 600 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam.

Admission is selective.

Provisional acceptance may be granted by the department.

Enrollment as a non-degree-seeking student in no way implies admission to a degree program.

Non-degree and provisional acceptance may be changed to regular matriculation upon completion of documentation, completion of six hours of graduate work receiving a B or better, and/or the completion of departmental requirements. Requires departmental approval.
