Apply Early
It is recommended that application to the DC, ND, MSOM or MSAc
programs be made 9-12 months prior to program start in order to
allow time for the submission, review and evaluation of
transcripts, essays, character references, etc. Applicants whose
intended term start is sooner, should contact Admissions to
determine if there will be time to complete the admission process
and to confirm that applications are still being accepted for that
trimester.
Important to Know
Applicants to the DC, ND, MSOM and MSAc programs may apply
without submitting all parts of the application (e.g., essays,
transcripts, etc.) together at one time. Additionally, DC and ND
applicants may apply before completing their bachelor's degree and
required prerequisite coursework. All applicants should give
thoughtful consideration to their essay composition and be sure to
follow the stated guidelines. Applicants do not have to submit
essays with their application and should feel free to submit their
essays separately. Please see below a PDF of the essay questions
contained in the first professional program (DC, ND, MSOM, MSAc)
application.
