:: The Admissions Process :: The minimum requirements for application consideration are:
-- (Institution code 6665; Department code 5199) Applications for acceptance into the DSS program must be submitted to Missouri State University’s Graduate College. Prospective students may apply online at the Missouri State University web site at http://graduate.missouristate.edu, or by mail. There is a nonrefundable application fee; you may pay by check if mailing the application, or by credit card if applying online. The address and contact information for the Graduate College is Missouri State University Ms. Valerie Murphy, Administrative Secretary for the Graduate College, is the point of contact for this office. Her email address is ValerieMurphy@missouristate.edu. The application form, accompanied by the student’s undergraduate transcripts, should be forwarded to the Graduate College. The application package is reviewed by the Graduate College, and if found to be acceptable, forwarded to DSS. Once it is received by DSS, prospective students are asked to provide: (1) a personal statement outlining why they wish to pursue a DSS degree, (2) a resume, (3), their GRE scores (institution code 6665, department code 5199), and (4) two letters of recommendation from undergraduate professors, work supervisors, or other individuals who have direct knowledge of their performance as undergraduate students or other individuals who have knowledge of the student’s skills and abilities. If the applicant would like to be considered for a DSS scholarship, a statement indicating their interest should be forwarded to DSS with the rest of their required materials. The address is Missouri State University The completed application package is then reviewed by DSS faculty and the Head of the DSS department, who collectively determine whether a student should be accepted into the program, and whether they merit financial assistance. Students will be notified of their acceptance into the program, along with an offer of financial award if applicable, within one month of the date that DSS receives the complete application package. If you are an international student, the same procedure applies, with two exceptions: you must complete the International Student Application for Graduate Admission instead of the general application (form enclosed at the end of this catalog), and you must send your TOEFL scores to the Graduate College in lieu of the GRE score. All international students must contact Missouri State’s Office of International Student Services to handle matters related to visa/immigration status, insurance, proof of financial means for one year, and other requirements. The address and telephone numbers for International Student Services is: Missouri State University The email address is http://internationalstudentservices@missouristate.edu
