Application Procedures
We are very pleased you have chosen to apply for admission to the MS in Information Technology graduate program offered through UMUC Europe. There are also many Certificate options in the Information Technology program.
Prior to enrolling in any graduate course with UMUC Europe, the student must complete and submit an online application for graduate admission.
Students applying for admission to the UMUC Europe MSIT program are limited to a maximum of 3 credits before receiving official notification of admission status, therefore it is essential for students to complete the admission process as quickly as possible. Students who fail to submit the appropriate materials in a timely manner may be denied permission to enroll in subsequent MSIT courses. For admission into MSIT courses, students must complete the following steps:
| Step 1 | Complete an online application for graduate admission and pay the $40 application fee. |
| Step 2 | Request a transcript from the bachelor’s-degree-granting institution, even if the student attended another institution in the University System of Maryland. However, if the bachelor’s degree was awarded by University of Maryland University College (Stateside, Asia, or Europe), the student does not need to request a UMUC transcript. If the student received a bachelor’s degree from an institution outside of the United States, the transcript must be evaluated by an independent agency. See the section on Non-U.S. Degrees following. UMUC Europe reserves the right to request additional transcripts. Addresses for most U.S. institutions of higher education may be obtained through reference materials generally available at education centers, libraries, or on the Web through sites such as dir.yahoo.com/education/index.html. |
| Step 3 | Complete a Personal Statement indicating work experience, current employment, and goals and aspirations that may be enhanced by participation in the MSIT program. The statement forms an important element of the admission process as it not only provides the student's reasons for undertaking graduate study, but also a sample of the student’s ability to organize thoughts and express him/herself. Students are advised to complete this statement thoroughly, professionally, and in a timely manner. Applications without a Personal Statement will not be considered for admission. |
