Graduate Admission Requirements

Qualified college graduates are eligible to seek admission to the Graduate College. Applicants must submit a completed application form and fee online to the Graduate College and upload all application requirements including transcript(s).

Transcripts

In addition to uploading your transcript(s) in the online application system, you should request each institution previously attended to send an official, sealed transcript to Graduate Student Services. To be official, the transcript must show the complete scholastic record, bear the official seal of the institution, and be signed by the issuing officer. Please mail to: Graduate Student Services, 700 N. Greenwood Ave., Tulsa, OK 74106-0700.

Readmission

You must enroll for courses at OSU within a year of your initial admission date to retain active status or you must reapply for admission. If you are not enrolled for one year, you must reapply for admission and obtain approval from the department. You will be subject to the regulations in effect at the time of readmission.

Transfer

Transfer credit must be recommended by the advisory committee through submission and approval of the plan of study and approved by the Dean of the Graduate College. Up to nine credit hours of transfer credit may be used toward an OSU master's degree. Additional hours may be used toward a doctoral degree.
