Additional Instructions Recommendations: At least two, but not more than three, letters of recommendation from professional colleagues or educational mentors who have worked closely with you and are familiar with your talents, attributes, and style, and how you might benefit from the EMPA program and vice versa (familiarity with you carries more merit than an important title). English Language Proficiency Test Scores: Please note that the Evans School does not accept Duolingo scores. Non-Native English Speaker Information Graduate School requirement: English language proficiency (ELP) is required for graduate study at the University of Washington. Therefore, every applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency as outlined in Graduate School Policy 3.2. International Student Information If admitted to the program, international students requesting an F1 or J1 visa will be required to provide financial ability documentation to the UW Graduate School. The Executive MPA is not a degree program that will qualify an international student for an F-1 student visa. International students who already have a visa that allows them to study in the U.S. are encouraged to apply. If you have questions, please reach out to program staff at execmpa@uw.edu.
