Howard University promotes academic excellence through a highly selective admissions process. Individuals who are admitted must show strong personal motivation along with backgrounds of consistent academic growth and achievement. The University also attracts and seeks out socially and economically deprived students who show promise of gaining from a Howard education. To protect its character and standards of scholarship, the University reserves the right, and the applicant concedes to the University the right, to deny admission to any student at any time for any reason deemed sufficient by the University.

Applications for admission to the Graduate School may be obtained from the Office of Graduate Recruitment and Admissions, Graduate School, Howard University, Washington, DC 20059. Telephone: (202) 806-7469. The application can be also downloaded from on the Graduate School's website: http://www.gs.howard.edu

The final responsibility for the fulfillment of all admission requirements lies with the student.
