Application Requirements for MPA Program

• Complete our online graduate application
  
  
• Submit required application fee ($75), personal statement (750-1000 words), resume, official transcript and letters of recommendation online via the application.
  
  
• Submit official transcripts for all colleges/universities previously attended. You can request they be sent by mail to:
  The Office of Graduate Admissions
  400 South Orange Ave
  South Orange, NJ 07079
  
  
• Academic transcripts from institutions outside of the United States or Canada must undergo a course-by-course evaluation conducted by an independent credentials evaluation agency, that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
  
  
  • SpanTran is our recommended international transcript evaluation service. A custom application has been created exclusively for Seton Hall University allowing our applicants to request their evaluation at a discounted rate. You can access the application here: SpanTran Application - Seton Hall University.
    
    
  • Failure to submit a required credential evaluation from a NACES member will result in your application for admission being incomplete and, thus, unable to be reviewed.
    
    
• International Applicants: If English is not your first language, please arrange to have your official TOEFL or IELTS scores sent to Seton Hall University. Our institution code is 2811.

Once all required documents have been submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions and your application is complete, it will be forwarded to the appropriate department for review. Admission review timelines vary by department; please contact your program director for more information.
