1. Complete an Extended Goal Statement and include a copy of your resume and email it

See additional instruction regarding the Extended Goal Statement below:

The Extended Goal Statement is a narrative statement that should be 1 to 2 pages in length and completed in Microsoft Word. The statement should demonstrate clarity of thought, be well written, identify goals and objectives, demonstrate what steps you will take to be successful in an academic program at, and answer many of the questions and topics below:

• The goal statement should answer the question "Why do you want to change your program or specialization?"

• The goal statement should provide a rationale as to why previous course failures or withdrawals will not be a limiting factor for success in your program.

• The content of the goal statement should express current and future academic and professional goals. It should discuss the relevance of the degree sought and relate that discussion to these academic and professional goals.

Other possible questions to be answered include:

• What were the reasons behind not performing well in previous academic opportunities and what has changed in your life that will help you be successful in the requested program?

• How long have you worked in your field?

• What strength or experiences do you bring into the profession you have chosen?

• Are you showing progression in your career, promotions? Are you in a management position?

• Are you involved in other organizations which show leadership skills and experience?

• Are you a member of any professional organizations in a leadership role? How does participation in such an organization affect your thoughts about continual professional development and education?

When you receive a confirmation email of your change of program, call in to register for your future courses. If you don’t receive a confirmation within two weeks after submitting your Goal Statement, call in for an update. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to the Undergraduate Advising Team at the contact information listed below.
