- Professional Experience. All applicants normally must have at least five years of documented full-time work experience. Applicants must submit a sponsorship letter from the applicant’s current employer or a client, if self-employed, describing a commitment to the academic support and time requirements of the program.

- Alternate Assessment Eligibility. Applicants who do not meet the above requirements for admission should contact the Program Director for alternate assessment eligibility.
