What is the GPA admissions requirement?
The RSG requires a 3.0 minimum GPA from your awarded undergraduate and/or graduate institution.



What post graduate test should I take?
The RSG accepts either the GRE (Average Scores – Quantitative: 533 and Verbal: 507) or the LSAT (see notation below). Under special circumstances the GRE may be waived. See the Application Checklist for more specifics.



What is the average LSAT?
The RSG strives to have a student body whose LSAT average of 152 is consistent with that of the School of Law.




Does the School of Government accept transfer credit hours from other universities?
Yes, students may transfer up to 25% of their credit hours (9 hrs.) from other accredited schools. This is true as long as those classes comply with a Master of Arts in Government degree, and those credit hours were not used to earn another degree. The academic dean must approve all transfer hours.




When will my Admissions Interview be scheduled?
The Admissions Interview with the Admissions Manager is the final stage of the admissions process. It is typically conducted after all the required admissions materials have been received.



How do I apply as a joint degree student?
A Joint-Degree Student needs to apply separately to both schools, respectively. In order to receive joint-degree status, an applicant must first be granted admission to both schools.




Are there special requirements as a joint Government and Law applicant?
A Joint Government and Law Applicant, when applying to the School of Law, should indicate both ‘Law and Government’ on the law application. By marking both programs, you are authorizing the Law School to release your admissions materials to the Robertson School of Government. The Law School has asked that all Joint Government and Law Applicants submit a written release (email is acceptable) specifying each admissions material the applicant is authorizing them to release to the Robertson School of Government.



What are the admissions requirements for international applicants?
Regent University encourages diversity and appreciates the special contributions that international students bring to a graduate institution of learning. International students applying to RSG must complete a few additional application requirements. In addition to the GRE or LSAT, international students whose primary language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A score of 577 (written)/233 (computer-based) or higher will be considered for admission. For additional information click here>
International students should contact CEM to request a special international student application packet.



May I delay my enrollment for a term after I have been offered admission?
Applicants who are admitted to the RSG, but who need to delay their enrollment, can defer their admission for up to one year. If the applicant does not enroll within the year of deferment, they must reapply for admission.
