Graduate education at UHV is designed to build upon the foundations provided in the baccalaureate program. Programs at the graduate level provide students with opportunities to develop advanced knowledge and skills in their chosen fields. Through their graduate programs, students are expected to demonstrate and increasingly develop independent and critical thinking and to progressively increase their ability to integrate theory, practice, and research in scholarly and professional pursuits.
Admissions/Other Requirements:
The applicant for a graduate program must have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher in an institution accredited by one of the six recognized regional accrediting associations The six associations are: Higher Learning Commissions, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Foreign institutions which may not be formally accredited by United States accrediting agencies must be recognized by the Ministry of Education in the country where the institution is located as maintaining high academic standards, and authorized to grant degrees by the Ministry of Education or appropriate government agency in the country where the institution is located. Credit earned prior to an institution receiving regional accreditation/recognition is not accepted for admission or transfer.
For graduate admission, applicants with international credentials must have earned a baccalaureate degree comparable to a 4-year baccalaureate degree in the United States. Admission to the university does not guarantee a student admission to a graduate program. The appropriate graduate school will determine whether or not the applicant is qualified for admission into the graduate program.
A student transferring from another graduate school must have at least a 3.0 (A=4.0) grade point average on all graduate work attempted
Admission to the Master of Arts-Psychology program is restricted to the Fall semester only. The M.A. Psychology programs have a separate application deadline separate from any other UHV deadline. This deadline can be found in each program’s website, or by consulting the director of each program. The M.A. programs do not allow students to have Temporary Graduate Student status. It is the responsibility of the applicant to furnish all necessary documentation for Fall admission to the Admissions office by the deadline for that program.
