Online Graduate Programs

Please apply online - Application for Admission

Once your application is processed, you will be admitted on a conditional basis and can enroll for the semester you applied to and begin taking your courses. The conditional basis is on the condition that you submit the required materials listed on our admissions requirements page. Failure to submit these documents can prevent you from registering for future semesters. We encourage students to submit the documents as soon as possible.

Our Graduate Programs Office is happy to answer any questions at 402-872-2314, or email at GraduatePrograms@peru.edu. All official transcripts and admission materials should be sent directly to the Graduate Programs Office.

All graduate students are advised by Dr. Greg Seay, Dean of Graduate Programs. Questions related to your program of study, confirming your candidacy status, or requirements for graduation should be directed to the Graduate Programs Office.

Graduate credit earned from another accredited graduate institution may be applied toward the Master of Science degree provided:
(1) the hours are of a grade of "B" or above;
(2) the credits would have counted toward a graduate degree program at the institution where earned;
(3) courses must have been completed within the last seven years from the date of the first class with Peru State; and
(4) the credits have been approved by the appropriate Academic Dean.

Master of Science in Education Program
Credit that have been applied toward an earned degree from any college will not be accepted for a graduate degree at Peru State, except for courses that are a part of the Peru State Professional Education CORE, or their equivalent from other regionally accredited institutions. A maximum of nine (9) graduate credits, subject to evaluation by the Academic Dean, may be transferred from another regionally accredited graduate institution and applied toward a degree.

Master of Science in Organizational Management Program
A maximum of nine (9) hours that have been applied toward an earned graduate degree can be applied toward the core courses in the MSOM degree, subject to evaluation and approval by the Academic Dean. A maximum of nine (9) graduate credits (fifteen [15] from the Nebraska University System or eighteen [18] from a Nebraska State College), subject to evaluation by the Academic Dean may be transferred from another regionally accredited graduate institution and applied toward a degree.  

Credits taken at Peru State College prior to admission to the graduate program must fall within the seven-year time frame allowed for program completion; however, exceptions may be allowed according to the Nebraska State College System Board policy. Transfer credits are applied toward elective credits only within the program. A maximum of nine (9) transfer credit hours may be applied toward the degree requirements.

Students must request permission from their Academic Dean for approval of transfer credits to be applied to a program of study by submitting the Transfer Request Form located on the Graduate Programs website, Current Students page and by requesting that an official transcript from the institution where credit was received be sent to the Graduate Programs Office.

The Academic Dean retains the right to request a student to provide course descriptions/syllabi for the courses being considered for transfer. We recommend all transfer credit requests be submitted during the initial admission phase and prior to the beginning of the program of study.
