Admission to Ball State is competitive, so apply early to pursue a master's, doctorate, or specialist degree; obtain a graduate certificate or licensure; or take graduate courses. Application procedures vary depending on your needs.

Be sure to also contact the department of your desired area of study—most have their own admission requirements and/or a separate application. You can also obtain information on assistantship opportunities from the department.

PLEASE NOTE: The School of Nursing is no longer accepting graduate applications for fall 2013. Please contact the School of Nursing for information about future terms.
