Graduate Admission Regulations

For access to the graduate catalog, a graduate application and new student information go to: http://www.boisestate.edu/gradcoll.
If students would like to simultaneously enroll in another Graduate degree program, they may do so subject to the conditions outlined in the Regulations for Graduate Programs in the Graduate College catalog.

A prospective student may apply at any time but must follow the general application procedures for admission to a graduate program (see the Graduate Admission Regulations section below right). If approved by the Graduate College, the applicant receives permission to enroll in graduate courses at Boise State. The Admission to the Graduate College is a prerequisite to admission to the graduate Certificate in Community and Regional Planning Program but it is not by itself a guarantee of admission into the Community and Regional Planning Certificate Program.

Applicants admitted to the Graduate College who wish to apply to the Graduate Certificate in the Department of Community and Regional Planning must meet the following requirements:

Have a baccalaureate degree with a GPA of at least 3.0 and submit the following documentation to the attention of the Director of the Department of Community and Regional Planning to Boise State University, 1910 University Drive, Boise, ID 83725-1935, to be considered for admission to the program under regular provisions:

• A letter of interest
• A current resume
• Three letters of recommendation that address academic potential (if academic record predates application by five or more years, letters of recommendation may be written by supervisors)

Applicants who do not meet all of the above requirements may be allowed to enroll with provisional graduate status in the Certificate Program. However, these students must satisfy all of the conditions of their provisional status before they will be recommended for regular graduate status in the Certificate Program. Prior to official acceptance into the program, students may take up to 6 credits (3 of which can be a core class) that can be applied to the certificate. Students are allowed only 3 credits of pass/fail courses and 3 credits of workshops to count toward their certificate in Community and Regional Planning.

Application files are due February 1 for Fall admission and September 1 for Spring admission.
