Application Fee Waived

A $75 application fee is automatically waived for applications submitted between September 1 and March 1. Applications submitted outside this period may require a fee.

Our Application Review Process

We take a thorough, holistic approach to reviewing applications. Each application is considered in its entirety. In selecting an incoming class of scholars and practitioners, we seek individuals who demonstrate a strong commitment to education and the capacity to thrive both academically and personally.

Admissions Policy for Former Students

Former students who wish to resume their studies should contact the Director of Academic Affairs to discuss their particular circumstances. The Director of Academic Affairs will then advise students on the appropriate next steps for reapplication. If the former student desires to have previous coursework count toward the desired degree program, the student needs to state those wishes in their application and the program will make a recommendation upon admission decision. If the program recommends that the student should be able to count previous coursework, a petition needs to be submitted to the Committee on Degrees.
