Admission Process

Guest Students:  Students who would like to take up to 6 hours of graduate coursework, but are not interested in earning a graduate degree at this time, may apply as a guest student.  Guest students may apply on line.  Please note that admission as a guest student does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program at a later time.  All admission requirements for a graduate program must still be met.

Master of Technology:  Application for admissions can be done online at http://www.kent.edu/rags/index.cfm. 

Academic requirements:  Applicants must possess an undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree in science (B.S.) or a related field from an accredited college, university, or institute. A 4-year degree is the standard minimum requirement.

Application procedure:

Applicants are required to submit the following materials:

• Application for Admission (two copies)
• Letters of recommendation (three)
• Statement of personal goals and professional objectives and how the Master of Technology degree will assist you in achieving them
• Current resume
• Official transcripts from each institution of higher education in which eight or more semester hours were earned (two from each institution)
  • The College of Technology requires a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average (gpa) of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale.  The cumulative GPA is calculated by using all undergraduate courses. 
• Non-refundable $30 application fee
• Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test scores (expectations are that qualified applicants will score at or above the 50^th percentile in all three areas included in the general test).
  • This requirement will be waived for students who have a cumulativeundergraduate grade point average (gpa) of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale.
  • If a student has already taken the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), those scores will be accepted in lieu of the GRE.
  • If GRE or GMAT scores are more than five years old, the exam must be taken again.
