APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please print this page to use as the checklist for your application process

Application for admission to the Justice Management Program includes application to the University of Nevada, Reno Graduate School and therefore involves a two-step process as detailed below. Applications are accepted:

Admission to the UNR Graduate School requires an undergraduate grade-point average of at least 2.75 on a scale of 4.0, or an average of at least 3.0 for courses taken during the last half of the undergraduate program, and a completed baccalaureate degree from an appropriately accredited institution. (If your GPA does not meet this criteria, admission to graduate standing on a prescribed program may be considered. Alternatively, an applicant may take a limited number of courses - with permission from the Justice Management program - as a Graduate Special. This status does not guarantee admission to the program, but allows a student to demonstrate that he or she can satisfactorily perform graduate level work.) To apply as a graduate special, please follow this link.

Scores of standardized tests such as the GRE are not required for application to the Master of Justice Management program.
