Graduate Admissions

We respect your time, and that of others. In alignment with this, we don’t ask for unnecessary paperwork (that you or someone else needs to generate). As standard practice across all degree programs, D’Youville University is a test-optional institution, which doesn’t require SAT/ACT, or graduate entrance exams. We won’t ask you for letters of recommendation, and official transcripts aren’t necessary to be admitted. Just focus on your life transition and provide verification of your official transcripts sometime after you choose DYU is right for you, but before your first day of classes. 

D'Youville selects students who are academically well-rounded and committed to meeting the challenges of a high quality education. Students entering D'Youville's graduate programs must meet the following minimum entrance criteria:
