Below is a quick summary of the admission essentials:
Spring 2020 Application Deadline
All applications for the January (2020) trimester must be submitted
by December 1, 2019.
Summer 2020 Application Deadline
All applications for the May trimester must be submitted by April
1, 2020.
Fall 2020 Application Deadline
All applications for the September trimester must be submitted by
August 1, 2020.
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.
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.
