To be considered for admission to graduate studies at Northwest, an applicant should submit an application well in advance of enrollment date. The application along with official transcripts of all previous degree(s) and credits earned from all accredited institutions, and other program requirements, must be submitted to the Graduate Office. (See specific admission requirements for the program desired.)
If you are interested in applying to Graduate School and enrolling in classes, you should begin by completing the Application for Graduate Studies. In addition to submitting an application, you should contact the school where you did your undergraduate and/or graduate work to request that your transcripts be sent to Northwest. These transcripts must be official copies.
If you are interested in Non-Degree seeking Graduate Classes, follow the steps above completing the Graduate Non-Degree seeking application and submit proof of your baccalaureate degree. Non-Degree seeking students are not eligible for financial assistance. A maximum of nine hours taken as a Non-Degree seeking student can be used toward a graduate degree.
After these steps have been completed and you are accepted, you are eligible to enroll in classes.
