Admission is on a rolling basis; however, for early admission the application deadline is April 13, 2012. The final deadline for submitting your application is June 8, 2012. Any complete application packets received after this date will be considered for admission only if space is available. In the event the class has been filled before the deadline, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list.

Upon acceptance into the program, a $2,000 nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit is required to hold a place in the class. The deposit is applied toward the first tuition payment due by September 2011. The Bursar's Office will send invoices to be paid in each academic quarter. There are four academic quarters in the first year of the Program, and three academic quarters in the second year of the Program.  Approximately 62% of the tuition is due in Year One, and the remaining 38% due in Year Two.
