Admissions Criteria
A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution in the area of psychology, sociology, social work, education, nursing, women’s studies, cultural studies or a related academic area.
Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in a non-human services discipline may apply if they have: a) completed 45 quarter hour credits (or 30 semester credits) in courses related to human services or b) 500 supervised work/volunteer hours in human services. Submit the Counseling Programs Supplemental Application form Part 1 listing the 45 quarter credits (or 30 semester credits) in a human services discipline; or Part 2 listing the volunteer/work experience. The baccalaureate degree and volunteer/work hours must be completed at the time of application.
Minimum GPA of 3.00 as calculated from official transcripts of all post-secondary educational institutions attended in the last 90 quarter/60 semester credits of the bachelor’s degree, including any transfer credits earned during this time, and any post-baccalaureate course work. Applicants with less than a 3.00 GPA may apply but are required to submit recent (within the past five years) official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores by the application deadline. Applicants from non-letter graded bachelor’s degree programs must also submit GRE scores.

Two letters of recommendation using only College of Education forms, two recommendations are required from employers, administrators or supervisors who are familiar with your work and your interpersonal skills. Do not choose peers, friends, professors or therapists.
A two-page (maximum) letter of intent that includies goals for the program, professional goals and a response to the Seattle University Mission Statement.
Two-page professional résumé documenting education, volunteer and professional experience.
Applicants will be notified of their invitation to a group interview with faculty members and other candidates. Admission decisions are sent by letter within 30 days after the group interview
Probationary and Provisional Admission
Applicants whose academic credentials are below the expected prerequisite course work, grade point average and/or test scores of those typically accepted to specific programs, but who through other means convey the potential for academic success, warrant offers of provisional or probationary admission.
Probationary admission involves a specific time limit during which the student is expected to achieve the minimum GPA noted at the time of admission. When this condition is fulfilled, the department usually recommends advancement of regular
graduate student status.
Provisional admission is granted typically to applicants who need to fulfill specific requirements within a stated time period to qualify for formal unconditional admission to their program of study, graduate standing or, in some cases, to remain eligible to continue course work.
