The Master of Arts in Advertising and the Master of Arts in Public Relations programs admit only a limited number of highly-qualified applicants to each M.A. class. In order to facilitate course sequencing and planning, applicants are encouraged to begin studies during Fall or Spring semesters. Summer admission is only recommended if collateral courses or other preparatory activities are required.
Prospective students must submit a Graduate School application; official transcripts from all colleges attended (applicants must have completed the minimum of a 4 year bachelors program); official GRE test scores on the General Test (we like to see scores with a minimum in the 50th percentile); TOEFL test scores for international students (The department requires a minimum of 91 IBT with no subscores below 22; or a 237 CBT with no subscores below 22; or a 580 PBT with no subscores below 55. Reported scores must be no older than 2 years); three letters of recommendation; a personal statement and an academic statement of goals for graduate study and professional career.
Admission is determined by an evaluation of the complete application materials. Students with grade-point averages below 3.25 in the last two years of their undergraduate work must present evidence of special merit through professional experience or extracurricular activities.
To apply to our program please follow the following steps:
1. Complete the Graduate School Application (online interactive application). The fee is $50 and can be paid with credit card, check (US Funds), or money order.

**International students should be aware that in addition to your TOEFL score meeting our minimum standards, we require that all admitted International students take the English Language test provided by the University upon arrival to MSU. International students are required to take this test prior to enrolling for courses and placement into courses will be done so according to the test results. If you for some reason you do not pass the test, you will be required to take a semester of English Language courses at your expense, and may not be able to enroll for any additional academic courses. Once you have successfully completed the English Language courses you will be removed from provisional to regular status. For more information about the ELC test you may visit their website at www.elc.msu.edu.
