Application Process for Master’s Degrees and Graduate Certificates
...
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree.* A social science background is preferred but not required. Preference is given to students who have two or three years of experience ( paid or voluntary ) experience - or five years, if applying for the MA in Transformational Leadership - in any type of work that involves making the world more just and less violent. This includes, but is not limited to, community development, social movement organizing, mediation, relief work, restorative justice, working with communities traumatized by injustice or violence, and advocacy. If you want the practical tools and knowledge to help create a more just and equitable world but have been working in an unrelated field, please email the admissions director at cjpadmissions@emu.edu so we can have a conversation about how our programs might meet your goals.

Submission of GRE scores is neither required nor recommended.
