The Concept paper is a requirement for students applying for Academic Track Programs to elicit the applicant’s ideas on the possible research topic that he/she will pursue when he/she is admitted to the program. This requirement will be evaluated by the Department Chair/Graduate Program Coordinator for feasibility and availability of experts. The concept paper will be validated during the interview with the Chair/Graduate Program Coordinator for Master Programs or a Panel of Interviewers for Doctoral Programs.
Students applying for Research Track Programs will undergo a pre-admission process whereby he/she will prepare a research proposal. The applicant will pitch his/her proposal to a prospect adviser from among the identified experts or existing research groups of the department/school for acceptance. The accepted research proposal will be endorsed by the adviser to the committee for validation during the panel interview.
Additional requirements may be added by the department depending upon the program applied for (i.e., proof of funding or financial support for those who will enroll in the research track).
