Graduate and Doctorate Application and Admissions
Shippensburg University takes a holistic approach to graduate admissions. While previous academic success is required, The Graduate School also takes into account previous work experience, life experience, and your vision for how a master's or doctorate degree will help you personally prosper and serve your profession and community.
Programs are held on the Shippensburg campus, off campus and online.
Applicants must provide:
- Completed online application
- One official transcript from every college and university attended, except from Shippensburg University; Graduate Admissions will access and upload all Shippensburg University (SU) transcripts. Official transcripts must be sent directly to SU from the college/university. Transcripts sent to students and forwarded to SU are not official and will not be accepted.
- Official transcripts from colleges and universities other than Shippensburg University should be sent electronically to graduateadmissions@ship.edu or by mail to the Office of Graduate Admissions, 1871 Old Main Drive, Shippensburg, PA 17257.
