Prerequisites
In some cases, students will be returning to graduate study for personal or professional enrichment. Applicants to the Rowan M.A. program should have an undergraduate degree or a strong background in English, creative writing, communication, journalism, or rhetoric; however, students from other degree programs (e.g., business, the sciences, engineering, psychology, law, education) are also encouraged to apply.
All students, regardless of their life experience or professional background, need to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test. The GRE is an all-University requirement and cannot be waived unless the student has completed a post-graduate degree elsewhere. The GRE is now computerized and is given frequently at Sylvan Learning Center in Deptford, NJ, as well as sites across the state and country.
