Admission Process
When an applicant applies for admission to a graduate program, the Program Director determines the applicant’s eligibility for admission. The Dean of the School of Professional and Continuing Studies (SPCS) issues a formal letter of admission to the applicant. Applicants who fail to enroll for two consecutive fall and spring semesters after being admitted must ask their Program Directors for a deferment of their admission or they will be required to reapply according to the catalog requirements in effect at the time of reapplication.

Applicants are required to schedule an advisement interview with the Chairperson/Director of their program or designee after the School of Professional and Continuing Studies issues a letter of acceptance into graduate studies.

Applications will be considered as long as there is space remaining for the selected program/semester.

If you have any questions regarding your application, contact Assistant Director of Graduate and SPCS Admissions Christine Leake at (718) 405-3269 or email at christine.leake@mountsaintvincent.edu.
