  • Applicants must select a concentration into which they will apply. Applicants may apply to up to three concentrations, ranking the concentrations in order of preference.
  • Successful applicants generally have GPAs exceeding 3.0 in Illinois courses and in relevant coursework; however, 3.0 neither assures nor prevents admission. Students with a GPA below 3.0 are still encouraged to apply if other elements of their application are strong.
