Applicant's Information

We have found, over the years, that asking people to fill in a series of blanks or boxes on a prepared form is rarely the best way for them to tell us about themselves and why they are interested in earning a Bachelors, Masters, or Doctorate. We have, as a result, left things quite open-ended and invite you to communicate with us in a manner that makes the most sense to you yet allows us to learn as much about you as possible so we may be sure this program will meet your goals. However, your success in the Orientation Course and comfort with the described program procedure is the best way for you and us to make that determination.
