How To Apply
For MA/LS and MPS Programs Only
Applications are accepted online via Apply
Yourself. All applicants must provide a valid email address and must be using
a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari) that is
Javascript-enabled (as most browsers are). If you have any questions
about the technical requirements, see the Apply
Yourself website.
To complete the application process, you will need to
do the following:
- Complete an online
orientation and submit the required online Orientation Checklist at the end of the online orientation section, under SIGN OUT.
- Write a personal statement that expresses your educational
and/or career goals. The statement should be a minimum of one and
a maximum of five pages. Save the statement to your hard drive. (If
you are not using Microsoft Word, you will need to save the document
in a Text-Only or Rich Text Format.)
- Go to the Apply
Yourself website and click on the "Create Account" button.
By creating an account, you will receive a unique ID so you can check
your application status online.
- Submit the nonrefundable $100 application fee, either
via credit card, check, or money order. (Instructions are on the Apply
Yourself website.)
- Arrange to have an official, sealed copy of
your transcript sent to SPD. Mailing address: School of Professional
Development, N-201 Social & Behavioral Sciences, Stony Brook
University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-4310. (Full zip code
must be used.) The transcript must show that you have earned a
bachelor's degree with
a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 (if your GPA is lower than 2.75,
please see the note on Conditional Admission, below).
If you earned your bachelor's from Stony Brook, SPD will access
your transcript electronically.
- Print, fill out, and return Immunization
Form (PDF).
- Additional requirements apply for International Students (see Information for International Students).
If you cannot complete the application online, you
can call SPD (631.632.7050, option 3) and arrange to have an application
sent to you. Please note, however, that printed applications take longer
to process.
Conditional
Admission
If your official transcript indicates an undergraduate cumulative GPA
below 2.75, you will be considered for conditional admission. Conditionally
admitted part-time students must achieve a 3.00 GPA after attempting
six graduate credits (applicable to their program) at Stony Brook. Full-time
students (12 or more credits) must achieve a 3.00 GPA after their first
semester. If a 3.00 GPA is not achieved as aforementioned, students
normally will not be permitted to re-enroll. However, a student may
petition SPD's Committee on Academic Standing to be allowed to continue
taking courses as a non-matriculating student.
Application Deadlines*
- July 15 for Fall admission.
- December 15 for Spring admission.
- March 15 for Summer admission.
*Applications may be accepted up until two weeks prior to the start of a term, but SPD cannot guarantee course availability for late applicants.
