Graduate Admissions Specialist - University of Kansas

Graduate Enrollment Management (GEM) reports to the Vice Provost for Enrollment Management. Enrollment Management includes the following functional units: Graduate Enrollment Management, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Financial Aid and Scholarships, Student Lifecycle Technology, the Office of the University Registrar, and Enrollment Marketing Communications. The GEM unit collaborates closely with the Office of Graduate Studies to ensure that policies for graduate admissions are upheld and that prospective students, applicants, and program faculty and staff are supported during the graduate application and admission process.
 
 More than perhaps any other factor, the degree to which a university attracts and retains qualified students determines the success or failure of that institution. The Enrollment Management division is a key player in this activity and has a profound effect on the institution’s success. GEM provides application, credential evaluation, and admission support for roughly 75 graduate departments, which includes support for domestic and international applicants and applicants to on-ground, hybrid, online programs, and Competency Based Education (CBE)/Jayhawk Flex programs.

This position reports to the Assistant Director of Operations and Strategy. The primary responsibility of this position is to support prospective applicants, applicants, incoming students, faculty, and program staff by reviewing and processing graduate applications for minimum university requirements and performing international credential evaluations.
