International Admissions

How to Apply

Complete the online Intent to Apply form and submit, via postal mail, the $50 processing fee.  This will reserve your space in the program and would then alert the Office of Admissions that your application and materials will be arriving prior to the April 1 deadline.  The application process is self-managed; each applicant is responsible for assembling required documentation and submitting the completed application for review.  Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.  A personal interview may be requested at the discretion of the program director.
