Graduate Admissions FAQs

Welcome

While this Graduate Admissions FAQ is intended to provide generalized answers for questions our office often encounters, 更多信息可以在各个学校/课程页面上找到:

Graduate Admissions Information

注意:请参见个别项目了解具体的项目要求.

Frequently Asked Questions

首先在项目网站上调查入学要求, learning objectives, curriculum and courses. The list of available programs, as well as the names of the directors, can be found here. The program director will be the best person to contact for more information and guidance.  如果你对多个项目感兴趣,又不确定该走哪条路, it is appropriate to reach out to multiple directors to explore which program will be the best fit.

虽然我们没有专门的研究生招生顾问, our graduate Program Directors will be glad to discuss the different program options with you. These experts in their field are the best resource about the program and can also help with licensing and certification questions. They will also direct you to another program if they think it would be a better fit. 

We often receive inquiries from students uncertain of the differences between  master’s in Social Work or in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Please see this page 以了解两者的区别. 

If you are unsure of where to start, you may also email the Office of Graduate Studies at graduatestudies@warawanresort.com 我们将很乐意协助和指导您的询价.

Unlike the undergraduate process, there is no centralized office that manages graduate admissions.  所有未来的学生都可以通过CollegeNet申请研究生课程. The program’s admissions committee, 通常是项目主管和教职员工, reviews applications and makes admission recommendations to the appropriate school’s Academic Dean.  学院院长将通知学生有关决定.  

所有的申请都是通过一个叫做CollegeNet的系统在线处理的. The process can be started through this link. 我们没有实物申请表.  

For questions that arise as you apply, 请致电401-456-9723或与研究生学习办公室联系 graduatestudies@warawanresort.com.

可以,但您需要在另一个电子邮件下创建第二个CollegeNet帐户. Please contact the Graduate Studies office and we can make this a bit easier by transferring some information from the initial application.

The resume, personal statement, and the names and emails of all recommenders must be entered before the application can be submitted. 任何其他文件可能会在提交后添加到您的申请中, including transcripts and test scores.

Please note that applications won’t be reviewed until all documents are submitted and the application is marked as complete. Applicants are advised to check on the status of their application to make sure all required materials are submitted. 

所有推荐信都应该来自学术或专业联系人. 我们不接受朋友或家人的个人推荐. 请参阅个别项目的具体推荐要求.  

推荐信必须直接来自推荐人. 申请将要求您提供推荐人的姓名和电子邮件. The recommenders will then receive an email from CollegeNet containing a link to upload the pdf or word document of their letter, 还有一个简短的选择题评估. 推荐信必须直接提交给CollegeNet. 

If there are problems,  such as changing a recommender, CollegeNet有一封推荐支持的电子邮件: lor_help@collegenet.com.  For further assistance, please email graduatestudies@warawanresort.com.

而每个项目对他们的个人陈述都有具体的要求, it is important to address your professional goals and how the program will benefit your ability to fulfill those goals. 你可能想要深入了解是什么让你达到这些目标, as well as what you hope to accomplish once you have completed the graduate degree.

While some programs do not have a specific length or prompt for personal statements, it is recommended that you provide enough information for the admissions committee to gain an understanding of you as an applicant.  Take care to ensure the statement is concise and that all information is relevant to your candidacy. Typically, personal statements will be 1-2 pages long but be sure to check the requirements for each program.

关于如何写研究生水平的个人陈述,有一些很好的资源:

We offer personal statement workshops at our annual Graduate Studies Open house, held in January.  If you are a current RIC undergraduate, you may be interested in utilizing the services of the 请职业发展中心协助撰写论文.   

Note: It is also possible to search the internet for examples of graduate school statements. While this may offer insight into the structure and content of a personal statement, it is important to note that these are exemplary samples of writing and may have even been written by professionals to guide applicants. 请不要将你的写作或经历与已发表的例子进行比较. 

虽然你可以选择通过CollegeNet上传非官方成绩单, 接受学位课程需要正式成绩单. We accept both physical and digital copies, but official transcripts must be sealed and received directly from the educational institution.  

Rhode Island College transcripts will be added after your application is submitted.

为了保护您的隐私,在您提交申请之前,我们无法查看您的申请. As a result, we do not have any way of connecting received transcripts or other documents to an unsubmitted application. We do try to follow up with our files/records to connect materials to the new applications, but it can often take time. 

如果您没有看到正在上传的材料, 请联系上面列出的适当联系人.  If materials were submitted a year or more prior to submission of the application, it may be necessary to resend them. 

如果您有待处理的申请材料,请查看 the application

一旦完成,它将被分配给项目的招生委员会. 大多数项目试图在4-6周内做出决定, 但周转时间可能因季节而异, deadlines, and number of applicants.
