Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Is the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) required?


No, it is not required. However, if you have taken it, please submit your scores with your application.


Where do I send official transcripts?


Directions are listed on the Program Admission Checklist.


If my GPA is slightly below the required 3.0, can I still get into the program?


Yes, but only if your application file excels in all other categories (i.e., letters of recommendation, statement of purpose). Under these conditions, you may be conditionally classified as a graduate student. Once you raise your GPA, we can change your status.


Can I talk to someone over the phone?


Yes. Contact the MPA Graduate Coordinator, Donna R. Kemp by phone at 530-898-5734 or e-mail her at dkemp@csuchico.edu.
