Admissions

Admission to Eastern Michigan University

In order to be admitted to the Program, you must first be admitted to EMU.  You can apply to EMU online.  You can also download the application form (in PDF format), complete it, and mail it to the Admissions Office.  Note that both undergraduates and Second Bachelor's Degree candidates apply as undergraduates.  You'll want to be sure to submit all the information needed to process your application, and make sure your application reaches the University by the required deadline.  For more information, contact the Admissions Office.  If you are transferring to EMU from another college or university, you'll want to check out the Program's Transfer Page.

Admission to the Program

Admission to the Program is competitive.  A limited number of seats in each entering Fall and Winter term class will be available.  Seats in each entering class will be awarded based on: (1) cumulative GPA; (2) grades earned in three prerequisite courses (ENGL 121, LEGL 211, and LEGL 304); and (3) an interview with the Program Coordinator. To be admitted to the Program, you must complete and submit the Program Application Form to the Program Coordinator.  You can also request a copy of the application from the Program Coordinator. Timely application for admission to the Program does not guarantee admission.  Likewise, because admission to the Program is competitive, the fact that you have satisfied the criteria set forth in the Admission Policy does not guarantee your admission.  A student who is declined admission for any term is free to re-apply for admission in a later term.  For more information, consult the Program's Admission Policy or contact the Program Coordinator.
