What to do after you apply
Congratulations on your decision to apply to 51动漫's Graduate Program! Below is a list of things you should know about the application process.
- You must have a bachelor鈥檚 degree from a college or university accredited by a regional accrediting association.
- Master of Education and Master of Science applicants must have the official copy of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) score sent to the Graduate Office (graduatestudies@swosu.edu) if the applicants undergraduate GPA is below 2.50. Check with Graduate Office to determine if GRE is required.

- Master of Education, Master of Science, and Master of Business Administration applicants must have two confidential recommendation forms completed by professionals in a position to rate academic aptitude and motivational factors.
- Master of Music degree applicants must submit two reference letters.

Only coursework with grades of 鈥淎鈥� and/or 鈥淏鈥� are eligible for transfer. Individual departments determine what credit will and will not transfer. Keep in mind that a maximum of nine (9) transfer hours of graduate credit may be applied towards a graduate degree at 51动漫.
I have some prerequisites to finish up at 51动漫 before I begin graduate work. Can I wait to apply for the graduate program? Yes. You may also take up to 9 hours of graduate coursework before being admitted into the program. Just remember that any graduate credit earned at 51动漫 prior to admission into the graduate program is applied under the same 9-hour policy agreement as transfer credit. By taking pre-admittance graduate hours at 51动漫, be sure you are not exceeding the number of graduate hours you can transfer into the program (all graduate hours taken prior to 51动漫 graduate admission, regardless from which university the hours were taken, must equal 9 hours or less). Again, only grades of 鈥淎鈥� and/or 鈥淏鈥� are eligible to transfer.
Once you have been admitted to the University, you will be assigned an advisor in your major area of interest. Advisors are available to assist students with enrollment and to provide general program information. The student, however, has the final responsibility of ensuring that program requirements are met. Don鈥檛 know who your advisor is? Once admitted to 51动漫, you will have a 51动漫 Live account where you can, among other things, access your advisor information.
Incoming first-time 51动漫 graduate students are eligible for some financial aid in the form of loans. To see if you qualify, fill out the online .
