TALKING POINT 1 OF 8

Admissions Criteria & Access

Admission is based on qualifications rather than gender or race, and scholarship tiers (up to full-ride) support students who can't yet access Title IV funding. Keep this answer ready.

Gap

Why This Matters

MSCHE Standard 2 (Ethics & Integrity) and Standard 4 (Support of the Student Experience) both expect published, non-discriminatory admissions criteria and transparent financial-aid/scholarship information — the kind of disclosure item evaluators check under 34 CFR §668.43(a)(1-4).
