Applying for Admissions

We admit students for each of the three academic terms (fall, spring, and summer) every year. While we do have application deadlines for each term, students are admitted on a rolling basis up to the deadline.  There are different deadlines for the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.  We make the process easy; once you apply and all requirements are submitted, we will give you a decision within 48 hours.  If you are ready to apply, the online undergraduate and graduate programs begin with these four steps:

  • Step 1:  Complete the online application.
  • Step 2:  Pay the $25.00 application fee.
  • Step 3:  Request your official high school, and/or college transcripts.
  • Step 4:  Request your official ACT, SAT, GRE or GMAT test scores.
