- Responses to three specific writing prompts (300–500 words per prompt), sent to admissions@umgc.edu.
- Explain your interest in pursuing a doctoral degree in community college leadership. How would this degree aid in your career plans?
- What evidence can you provide that demonstrates your potential for a senior leadership position in a community college? Please include specific examples.
- What do you see as the greatest opportunities and challenges for community colleges in the coming years? Please include specific examples.
After completing and submitting your supplemental documentation, you may be asked to interview with the doctoral admissions committee (30 minutes; via phone or teleconference).
