The graduate programs at Christopher Newport University provide a rigorous yet nurturing environment for students wishing to advance their education to the next level.
Our master’s degree programs offer challenging courses, opportunities to participate in recognized research projects - as well as to engage in research of your own - and a strong sense of community and mentorship.
CNU welcomes applications from students who have earned a bachelor’s degree from, or who are in their senior year at, a regionally accredited university or college, with a grade point average of at least 3.0. We also welcome international students. For information on applying as an international student, go to Application Forms tab in the Admission section of the Graduate Studies website.
We also offer Five-Year Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree Programs that allow qualifying CNU undergraduates to begin taking graduate level classes in their senior year, complete a bachelor’s degree and stay to earn a master’s degree with just one additional year.
