Application Process

Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (whether or not credit is desired) must be sent as soon as possible after the application deadline. Applicants with fewer than 27 completed credits and those from colleges with nonstandard grading systems must also submit official high school transcripts and SAT/ACT scores. There is a nonrefundable application fee of $70. Upon acceptance, a nonrefundable enrollment fee of $400 is required to confirm a place in the entering class.

Applications must be received and complete (including all official college transcripts, required essay, fee, and related documents) not later than April 15th for fall semester and October 1st for spring semester.

International students are eligible only for fall admission unless they are currently enrolled at a U.S. college. They must also submit TOEFL or ILETS scores, a sponsor statement, and a bank statement.

Transfers must submit a brief written statement with their application. Applicants can use this opportunity to provide further information not apparent from their transcripts and other materials. Interviews with transfer counselors may be requested if there are any special concerns about the transfer process.
