We've designed our graduate school application at Clarkson to be simple. To submit your application, you'll need:

A completed application form - enter your answers to the online application question prompts; and
3* letters of recommendation - provide us with the contact information for 3 people, preferably current or former faculty members or former supervisors who can send us a recommendation on your academic and/or professional performance and motivation. *Select programs require only 2 letters.

You can submit your application as soon as you’ve entered the above information. To fully complete your application - either before or after submission - add the following materials:

All collegiate transcripts;

TOEFL or IELTS test scores (if applicable for international students);
To support prospective graduate students, we are waiving application fees at this time. We will waive the fee after you submit your application. This may take a few minutes to process;
A short, 250-500 word personal statement telling us why you want to attend Clarkson University and why you think you are a good fit for your program of interest; and
GMAT/GRE test scores - may not be applicable for some applicants depending on your program and professional/academic experience.
