Graduate Admissions Requirements

The majority of Robert Morris University degree programs accept students on a rolling admission basis. Some doctoral and master's programs have deadlines. Your Graduate Enrollment Manager can provide deadline dates, if applicable to your program of study. As soon as all of your transcripts and other required credentials arrive in our office, we process your application and notify you of your admission status.

Transcripts submitted by the student will be considered unofficial.
