Application Requirements<\/h3>

\nApplicants to master\u2019s degree and graduate certificate programs must have a bachelor\u2019s degree from an accredited US institution or an equivalent credential, such as a three-year international undergraduate degree. Though you may apply and receive an offer of admission before formally completing your bachelor\u2019s, the degree must be conferred prior to enrollment in a Metropolitan College program.<\/p>\n
