Transcript:
While unofficial transcripts may be uploaded to begin the review process, applicants will also need to request official copies of transcripts be sent to Syracuse University. Official transcripts are sent to Syracuse University directly from the registrars of the academic institutions previously attended.
Curriculum Vitae:
A resume describing employment history; academic honors; scholastic recognition; publications; leadership roles; and/or other academic, professional, and community activities is strongly recommended.
Personal Statement:
A 600 to 800 word personal statement, explaining why the applicant has chosen to apply to their selected program; to describe any personal experiences or achievements related to the program; and to outline career goals (see application directions for more detail).
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of recommendation for applicants applying to degree programs (two for the CAS programs) are required; preferably at least two from academic references. There are two ways to submit recommendations. The names/emails of recommenders can be registered electronically during the application process allowing recommenders to submit their recommendations electronically OR letters of recommendation and the supplemental form can be sent directly to the graduate school by the recommender. Applicants must choose either the traditional submission process OR the electronic process for all recommenders. See the application directions for more information.
