Admission Requirements

If you are in the process of completing your undergraduate coursework, you may submit transcripts with courses that are in progress. If admitted, we must receive your final, official transcript with the degree conferred date. You will be notified if you need to submit additional transcripts.

Transcripts received from applicants and/or an unapproved third party will be considered unofficial.
