Some programs require very little undergraduate preparation while others require significant undergraduate coursework in a subject area. The courses you have taken as an undergraduate will determine how long it will take you to complete each of these programs.

The first step is to download the LAMP Application for Review of Coursework, which is found on each program page.

Admission requirements:

Students must have an undergraduate GPA of 2.7 or higher

 

Additional measures may be used to determine admission to LAMP. These measures may include (but are not limited to) application, GRE, writing samples, interviews, and recommendation letters.
