Please visit the program page of your choice for additional details about required application materials. 

International Applicants:  Please note that in most cases, under-graduate transcripts from outside the US must be submitted through an evaluation service. Most international graduate students must also submit proof of English proficiency. To inquire about exemptions or for more information, please see the DSU International Admissions page.  Some programs may require increased minimum scores for acceptance. DSU’s graduate programs do not support F1 student visas at this time.

Your completed application will be forwarded to the school dean for your graduate program. If you are offered admission to the program, you will be notified of your acceptance standing.

  • Full Acceptance
    • Application materials will be reviewed as they are received. A decision for full acceptance/standing may be granted by the school dean when a student has submitted all required documents and meets the admission criteria for this standing.
  • Conditional Acceptance
    • An applicant who does not meet the requirements for full acceptance/standing into a graduate program may be considered for conditional acceptance for a period of time as determined by the dean of the school.

Once you receive your acceptance decision, you will also receive instructions on how to schedule an advising appointment to enroll in classes.

The North Dakota University System requires that new students provide documentation of immunity for certain diseases unless an exemption is accepted. For more details on these requirements or potential exemptions click here.
